1.0 out of 5 stars
Avoid, 16 Jun 2009
The ending of the last episode of series 4 was the way to end this series, not this. If you love Prison Break then avoid this poor, pointless addition, which feels more like an episode of The A Team than the high quality drama fans of PB have come to know and love. It adds nothing and may leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Curses, impossible to review without spoilers, 27 May 2009
If you haven't seen season 4 in its entirety, please look away now. Spoilers are a sucky, sucky thing, and given Final Break covers the actual event leading up to the final revelation in the series, it's impossible to review it without jumping ahead.
When it starts, Michael and Sara are at their wedding, and it's dreamyheavenly. Everything is finally ok, and they can finally stop running. That is, until thems blasted feebies arrive with a warrant for Tancredi's arrest. The charge is murder, and given they have her on CCTV firing the gun, she's bang to rights, guvnor.
Aye, it's as daft as the series.
She's hauled to the women's wing of the big house, where she bumps into the very woman that scarred her back and faked her death - quite the coinkidink. What's more amazing is across the way in the men's wing, you'll find T-Bag (more embittered than ever) and the General himself. Uh oh.
Michael gathers the old gang together, and they plot to get the woman out before Daddy (played rather creepily by an unrecognisable Lori Petty) can shank her, yo. There are all the twists and false starts, the steady gazes and cliff-hangers, and more of Michael always being one step ahead. There's even a new over-zealous FBI dude to contend with: one who may, or may not, have Alex Mahone in his pocket.
So, more of the wonderful silliness... except its denouement is genuinely, and actually rather profoundly, upsetting. Is it a spoiler to say I always knew that Tancredi mare was a moo? I hope not, because she is one. She's a giant moo. Ah, I admit it: I wept great, big Disney tears of sadness, then I shook my fist at the moo.
It is a fitting, thoroughly unfair, wonderful end to a series that ended up as mad as a box of otters, and if you're a fan, Final Break is absolutely unmissable.

SUPERB BUT VERY UPSETTING, 22 July 2009
If your have got emotional and sensitive feelings then you wont be able to watch this dvd without shedding a few tears especially if Michael and Prison Break have had you on the edge of your seat for 3 years +. It's a brilliant watch and ties up any lose ends left in series 4.
I don't want to spoil anything but I feel they could have made another full series 5 from this story line especially as its another planned Prison Break to free a loved one. Worth buying A++++++++++++++++++
