Lincoln
Burrows is sent to prison and sentenced to death for the killing of the brother
of the Vice-President of the United States; a crime he never committed. His
brother, Michael Scofield, a brilliant structural engineer, gets himself thrown
into the same prison, the Fox River State Penitentiary, with the purpose of
breaking him out of there before he gets executed. Whether it is inside the
prison or outside of its walls, a major fight for freedom and truth is going
on. Loyalties are being tested constantly.
The
two main actors, Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, have such great
on-screen chemistry as brothers who have only had each other to depend on since
childhood. Now, they will have each other’s back at all costs. Both brothers
are polar opposites, but you can easily feel, through the acting and the
storytelling, that link that will forever unite them. I particularly dug the
Scofield character, a man who does not have the brawns so he uses his brains.
He is always multiple moves ahead in his head, which makes him a threat to many
people.
The
supporting cast is also very solid. There are too many actors and actresses to
name them all, but there are so many good performances here. Character
development is a very important aspect in Prison Break; so many layers, with
people switching sides in the war depending on their stake in the matter. In
some cases, we go from hate to love and back and forth in regards to
characters, but, come what may, we always care what happens to these fictional
people.
As
good as the character development is in Prison Break, some plot twists left me
scratching my head a little bit. The story took a few turns for the weird,
especially in the last season. But, by the end of it all, it was brought to a
good conclusion, filled with emotion and intensity.
