Editorial Review:
The federal government can’t touch Michael Scofield, so they’re going after the woman he loves. When Sara is arrested for murder, only Michael can rescue her — and their unborn child — from an impenetrable women’s prison. With a price on Sara’s head and time running out, Michael must rely on his deadliest enemies to help attempt the most daring breakout ever.
Prison Break: The Final Break [Blu-ray] Reviews:
The Final Break. Prison Break 
2009-11-04 - Quality and product was good. However the movie was not. I crammed what happened in all of a previous season into one episode. Everything that happened was just to crazy however of course it worked out except when Michael died at the end. They should have left it at the end of season four instead of adding on this last bit.
Prison Break Fan 
2009-08-21 - How could you go wrong - if you are a fan of Prison Break. Love the show!
Why couldn't THIS have been the finale? 
2009-08-01 - In the finale, we see the characters four years later visiting Michael's grave. Um... okay? I thought his brain tumor was cured....? Well this answers those questions. It also delves into Scofield's mum's death. It was a great ending.
Sadly, Prison Break did go downhill after the first season. it was like they had no idea what they wanted to do until the third, but then they also had to deal with stuff they had winged in the second. the fourth season got better, but then it was cancelled so this is how they ended it. Fox allowed them to air 6 more episodes, but they produced eight. this is the final two.
A must see for any Prison Break fan!
The Final Disappointment 
2009-07-30 - Sadly, the Prison Break series which started with a bang but kept slowly sliding downhill from the peaks of its glorious First Season, ends lamely with a double whimper. The Final Break is the second and final 'end' and, truly, nothing but what were meant to be the last 2 episodes of the series.
I wish I could say that The Final Break at least stays true to the standards set by the 'seasoned' episodes but the viewing feels more like the series death by exhaustion. By the time we reach this final break, Sarah's - I'm not revealing anything that's not on the blurb printed on the back of the movie's case - everything and everyone, appear to be tired, bored, unconvincing, no longer having much fun. Yes, many of the old characters are back and we get to see the insides of a women's prison but, to borrow a line from an old commercial, this addition is 'less filling' without tasting that great. What in the previous episodes and in the early seasons was so outrageously impossible most of us would willingly suspend disbelief and have fun watching the escapes and plot twists is now almost ridiculously impossible and I found it impossible to relate to the characters any longer. I watched The Final Break with detachment, frequently checking the 'remaining time' counter. When it all ended, the feeling was of relief for it all being over. Finally.
Concerning the Blu-ray release:
- Once the disc begins play, you are greeted by what seems to be more than half a dozen (didn't count them) promos for some mediocre series and movies including some available on DVD only, not on Blu. You'll have to repeatedly 'skip' to get out of this inconvenience because you can't escape by pressing the 'menu' key. I hate when 'they' are trying to force us to watch their commercials after we actually pay for their product. This shows disrespect for the customer.
- The picture quality is consistent to that of the 'regular' TV episodes - it's 'good'.
- There is only one sound track option but the sound setup, interestingly, is part of the Setup menu - and you get to choose one out of the only one option available - the impression the 'menu' leaves is that all was thrown out to us, the indiscriminate 'consumers' very much on the cheap.
- The 'extras' are made off 2 (two) deleted scenes and nothing else.
- The plastic case has some strange perforations/holes that probably make it more likely to break and whose reasons is difficult to understand other than maybe saving a penny or two on plastic.
That's just about it. Both my wife (a huge fan of the series) and myself are glad it's over. We are very likely to watch Season One and maybe some of the seasons that followed again but I can't see us re-watching The Final Break or the last few episodes of the last season.
Sadly.....this is Good, but not Great :-( 
2009-07-27 - I am a huge Priosn Break fan. I was so upset when Fox decided to cancel the show. I mean, I would watch the show no matter where they were breaking out of. It could have been a 7-11 for all I care. When I heard this movie was coming out, I was very excited about it and just had to get it.
Perhaps my expectations were too high for this movie, but it wasn't what I expected. It was good, since it wraps everything up from the series, but the movie was just very predictable. It was almost as if I knew what was going to happen before it did, and already knowing Michael died didn't help much.
All in all, if you are a Prison Break fan, you have to watch this movie. I would recommend you rent it versus buying it, but I bought it and don't regret it. I am very fond of the actors and buying this is like having the last peice of Prison Break out there.
Still, it was like a very crammed TV episode. I never thought I would say this, but the TV show with the commercials actually made it more interesting. Having no commericals, there was never really any suspense as to what was going to happen. Things just kept on going until the end.
