PRISON BREAK: SEASON 3 (DVD MOVIE)

Amazon.com:
After focusing on the breakout (season one) and the manhunt (season two), season three of Prison Break turns the concept on its head by throwing everyone involved with the show so far--fugitives, lawmen, villains--into the same prison. When we left off in season two's finale, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) had been exonerated of the murder for which he was framed since the beginning of the series, but Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) landed himself behind bars during the escape in Panama. It's no coincidence that he's placed in SONA, a remote place for the lowliest of criminals, along with his pursuers Agent Mahone (William Fichtner) and Bellick (Wade Willams), and fellow former inmate Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell (Robert Kneppner), who naturally cozies up to the crime lord who rules the prison in an effort to move up in the ranks.

The main premise of Prison Break this time around is Michael needing to break someone else out of prison for The Company, the crime network responsible for all nefarious doings on the show. The Company's rep is a homicidal, sneering assassin named Susan (sometimes Gretchen) (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe), who's holding hostage both Lincoln's son LJ and Michael's love Sara until Michael carries out his mission. The typically false starts, double-crossings, and man-that-was-close moments you'd expect to come from a series like this are all there, but this time around episodes feel scattershot, a far cry from the white-knuckle tension builder that was season one. Fichtner, who joined in the second season, is a standout as a pill-popping agent-turned-inmate in withdrawal who must now collaborate with the man he chased across the country. The new characters introduced don't have much purpose; the many plot twists (he's a good guy... no, a bad guy... no, wait, a good guy) leave you a little less motivated each time to keep tuning in, and the final straw is one main character's death early in the season (reportedly because of a contract dispute between the producers and the actor). Originally planned as a jolt to the series, it instead angered many fans who had been long awaiting a just payoff. This would later be rectified before the fourth season, but there's no telling how many Prison Break fans may have skipped town before then. --Ellen A. Kim

Rating: - a bit short
While i was excited as anything for Season 3 of Prison Break. I couldnt help but be a little disappointed this time around. It just didnt seem to have that spark that the first two seasons had to them. There were moments that made me smile and others that kept me into the show (especially the final 2 or 3 episodes) season ender. I believe will help ramp Season 4 of the show right back up the top of the ratings with all the interesting characters and side agendas going on. I feel it bounce back, my major gripe with the third season was the length of the show.

It was only 13 episodes and while a couple of the new characters were ok for the most part. They didnt keep my interest. I did like the interaction between the various people in one prison (Sona). Which i would never want to be anywhere close to ever. Also the power struggle for control of the inmates and all else that flowed through it. I'm still watching the show regardless and this one was still worth the purchase, but just keep in mind its a bit on the short side as far as episodes go.

But watch for Season 4, i feel it will take it back to the roots for the series on the whole.
