Prison Break: The Final Break as they are calling the telemovie has aired in the UK and it's up on torrents. It's a decent if not nice farewell
epilogue to the show. It wasn't exactly necessary since we already know how everyone ends up in the finale but this shows exactly what happened before they
got there. But we do find out what's happened to Gretchen in this one. And it's fun to see how the writers manage to work everyone into the plot of
this one, even the General and T-Bag.
So I guess this is the final word to this epic series.
As Michael says at the end...
Spoiler
The dvd cover is so misleading. Sarah does not run around with a gun looking like that. She's in prison sweats for almost the entire thing. And
"prepare yourself for the truth"? 
There is nothing surprising about this at all. It's a fairly by the book account of Sarah getting sent to jail (in a jail/prison even
though she's not yet seen the court because of overcrowding) and how Michael and the team work to get her out. There's not much time in the hour
and twenty minutes (basically what was supposed to be episodes 23 and 24) to really do much more than that because they have to keep going back and forth
between Michael and the team and Sarah in prison. We get a taste of what Cherry Hill could have been like if they had done it. Sarah basically has to watch
out for crooked prison guards, being invited by "Daddy" (Played by Lori Petty!) into her "family" as well as dealing with Gretchen
who's told by the General to snuff Sarah as revenge towards Michael. Of course it gets out that there's a price on her head and the other inmates
start to get in on the action. There's really not much thought given to the whole breakout plan since it's basically just 2 episodes. It took the
entire first season for Michael to break out of Fox River and we're probably never going to get anything as tense and exciting as that. So of course it
ends with Sarah finally escaping and... something else I won't spoil but it's telegraphed well in advance and you can see it coming a mile away.
