This short movie, which is the final "necessary" addition to the 4 seasons, represents the aftermath of the big conspiracy. Roles are flipped, Sarah is the prisoner, and the brothers are the rescuers, except, this prison is no prison that Michael Scofield has architect-ed, so it's a new challenge, and the odds are low, the ending was heart-breaking, I literally cried. With the death of Michael Scofield, this has been the perfect ending for the most original and perfect series of all time.However, this seems to be the principal bedrock for the 5th season.But without considering the 5th season, it's a perfect ending, Prison Break will always the show that we'll always watch and never get tired of.

I just recently re watched prison break including the final break and it was even better than I remember. SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!!I have been waiting to watch the final break because I had read different reviews about people having mixed feelings about it and how it goes with the show but I am so glad I watched it!! When I watched the finale when it aired in 2009 I was satisfied that something had gone wrong and Michael had died because his operation went wrong, but when I watched the final break and saw how he actually died it just made the end of the show that much sweeter. I did roll my eyes when they said, "we have to break her out," (I thought really...) but the final break (true to its title) is the final break and it is worth watching for any fan of the show!! It helps fill in one giant hole of the original finale, while keeping the integrity of the show and makes you appreciate how powerful family can really be!!

I really wish I never watched this! Appently it was supposed to answer all the remaining questions, but what questions?? The only ones I can think of was how Michael died (which was better when you thought it was because of his illness), and how the hell Kellerman became a congressman after what he admitted to! For me, it made a mockery of season one. The amount of work Michael put into his plan of breaking Lincoln out was brilliant and the way parts of his plan came together was what really made season one a great series. But this felt like it had been written up in 30 seconds! Oh yeah just set off a fire alarm, create a diversion outside and sneak in...genius, no one can fool that plan! The characters of the womens prison were just completely pointless. The woman t-bag wannabe was so unconvincing. The main characters all had a chance to grow and develop over the course of the four seasons, but the writers made these new characters act as if we've known them the whole time. This isn't a show thats meant to be squashed into 80 minutes.I thought the actual ending of PB was perfect and very emotional. But this ending just tried to mimic that with very bad results! The TV switch off thing at the end was ridiculous, and left you thinking "what the hell was that?!" I love every season of Prison Break, it was one of the best shows on TV and I'm sad to see it leave. But The Final Break will ruin everything loved about the show and destroy that perfect, yet sad, ending they gave it. Don't Watch!

To be honest, I was thinking this was going to be a "ploy to get money" but ironically this wasn't the case. This is quite possibly the most beautifully written 90 minute made for TV ending for a show I've ever seen. In fact, it was so reminiscent of the first season that I think they really took the time to thoroughly review all their options and wrap up the show appropriately.Not to say too much about the actual show but the way they integrated much of the original cast is ingenious and so mind blowing that I was simply astonished how some episodes "arguably" wasn't fantastic and then there is this finale that really stood out.It's so much to capture in 2 hours that I was sad to see it end. In spite of being angry of watching the show's ending last week, I have to say in " The final Break" they did a remarkable job of gently walking us through the path and not giving us a sudden blow while proving to the audience that it was truly worth waiting for this.10/10 RIP Prison Break
