This week from 20th Century Fox Home
Entertainment is the return of a mega-hit series on Fox as the boys are back
with PRISON BREAK Event Series.
Seven years has passed and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell)
is back to his old tricks owing money to a local dealer. He is more than
surprised when T-Bag (Robert Knepper) knocks on his door with news that is
shocking. In an envelope is a paper photograph that looks like Linc’s brother Michael
Scofield (Wentworth Miller).
Refusing to believe it, Linc throws T-Bag out the door but
keeps the paper. Letting it set in that it might be true, he begins to figure
out the clue that takes him to sister-in-law Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies). He
shows her the photograph and it sets off hope for them both that it might be
true. The problem is that Sara is now married to Jacob Ness (Mark Feuerstein)
who is helping to raise her son Mike (Christian Cooper).
In a prison in Yemen , inmate Kaniel Outis is forming
a plan to escape with fellow cell mates Whip (Augustus Prew), Ja (Rick Yune)
and Mustapha (Bobby Naderi). Every night they go to the roof waiting for a sign
that it’s time to run. Linc has tried to make contact with Michael by going to Yemen with
C-Note who has converted to Islam and can help.
At home, T-Bag receives a new hand thanks to a donor who
specifically requested to help him. Sara waits for word when Van Gogh (Steve
Mouzakis) and A&W (Marina Benedict), two armed intruders shoot Jacob and
try to get her and Mike. Swift thinking brings the police and send Jacob to the
hospital. Recovering, Sara and Jacob talk about the possibility that Michael
might still be alive.
Getting closer to escape, things go differently when ISIL
comes closer to the town and the prison. When Michael rescues a terrorist
leader Abu Ramal, Linc wonders if his brother is in deeper than he could have
imagined. Being helped by Sheba
(Inbar Lavi), the war intrudes on the escape and a decision is made that she
must escape with C-Note and others before they are captures.
That puts Michael, Linc, Whip, Ja and Mustapha on the run
with Abu Ramal. In a situation where no one can trust no one, it is in a split
second that plans years in the making crumble. Frustrated, Linc demands to know
the truth about why Michael faked his death and more importantly where has he
been?
Michael finally tells his brother everything and that a man
named Poseidon came to him threatening Sara and Michael. He also threaten to
put everyone back in prison and disappearing to work for Poseidon was the only
way to keep them safe. But Michael was betrayed and now it is time to set
things straight.
But first they have to get back to the United States and Michael knows
exactly what he needs to do to make things right. With the help of friends and
a brother who is dedicated to family, there isn’t anything or anyone that will
stand in their way.
Prepare for shock and awe of a brotherly kind!
Miller as Michael Scofield still has the intense gaze of a
man who is always thinking, planning and doing what ever it takes to make
things happen. There is a stand-offishness about this character but then again
there has to be, especially when trust is something hard to come by after seven
years dead.
Purcell as Linc has the same intense gaze and has no problem
flattening anyone that gets in his way. The funny thing is that in scenes with
Miller, they could easily be mistaken for brothers because of that serious
“I’ll kick your ass” gaze. Purcell has a chance to show a softer side of the
character he has made iconic.
Callies as Sara is once again married to a man who is a
little obsessive about his wife and family. A strong pull back to Michael means
she will do anything to help him, even if it means going against what her new
husband wants.
Knepper as T-Bag has such a way about him. Working his prose
into his mood is something that can either make you laugh or wonder what evil
lurks. Having been the bad dude for so long, it’s hard to see the character
turn a new leaf. Dunbar as C-Note has changed
his life up but not so much that he doesn’t remember how to throw down.
Feuerstein as Jacob loves his life with wife Sarah and boy
Michael. He doesn’t want anything to interfere with that, including a supposed
dead husband rising up to mess with his home life. Feuerstein has the ability
to give off the caring guy characteristics yet when he isn’t happy, there is a
glassy eyed look that might as well have a flashing sign above his head that
says ‘psycho here!’
Prew as Whip is a man who is taken in by Michael and has a
short fuse. He wants things done quickly and gawd forbid if there is an
encounter with a weapon – he kinds of loses his mind a bit. Feeling like he has
a brother in Michael, even when feeling a bit left out of things at times, he
always come around to help.
Benedict as Blake is seriously disturbed – the ‘shoot first
and don’t bother with questions later’ kind of assassin. Mouzakis as Van Gogh
is the conscious of the two even if Blake doesn’t want to hear about it. These
two are settling a score for Poseidon but have a personal beef of their own.
Other cast include Paul Adelstein as Paul Kellerman, Amaury
Nolasco as Fernando Sucre, Amin El Gamal as Cyclops, Kunal Sharma as Sid,
Curtis Lum as Agent Kishida, Crystal Balint as Heather, TJ Ramini as Cross and
Akin Gazi as Omar.

PRISON BREAK Event Series on Bluray is a fantastic
revisiting of characters that took over Fox once a week. Leaving fans feeling
empty when the series came to a close on television, This storyline is a chance
to bring closure in a very cool way and giving both Michael and Linc a chance
at a normal existence…for a while at least.
This is a seriously fun, awesome, intense and twisted
storyline for the boys who made PRISON BREAK memorable. The characters of
Michael and Linc took brotherhood to a whole new level and I have to say that
these two made breaking out of anything a little nerve wrackingly exciting so
thanks for that!
In the end – first it was a prison and now it’s a nation!
