DVD Reviews of Prison Break - Season One
DVD Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
"Prison Break" was a show that started up on the Fox network last year and started a sensation. It attracted millons of viewers, got good review from critics, and now the complete first season is available on DVD. The story line (I mean, in case you didn't know) involves Michael Scofield's (Wentworth Miller, 'The Human Stain') plan to get his brother Lincoln Burroughs (Dominic Purcell, '3-Way') out of the Fox River Penetentary. Lincoln apparently killed the Vice President's brother, all the evidence seems to say he did...But turns out there's something much bigger going on; As Lincoln's
lawyer/former girlfriend Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney), with the help of Nick a dude from Project Justice, tries to figure out who framed Lincoln;Michael works hard on the inside to get his brother out. Being a structural engineer, Michael has access to the blueprints and has them tattooed on his body...But he's going to need to take some chances to get out. And he needs some people to help him to get out; The people include John Abruzzi (Peter Stormare, who's great), a mobster with access to a jet; Charles, a guy Michael thinks is D.B. Cooper; Sucre, Michael's cell-mate and kind of the comedic part of the show; T-Bag (Robert Knepper, who's incredible), a pedophile who stumbles onto Michael's plan; C-Note (Rockmond Dunbar), a former Army guy, who needs to get with his family on the outside (he's got them thinking he's in Iraq); Tweener (Lane Garrison), a snitch who's hired by a suspicious prison guard named Bellick (Wade Williams) to find out what Scofield's up to. One complaint I hear the most about the show is that it's unbelievable. Prison isn't like that. And it's not just because of Michael's escape, most people complain that the lack of realism is due to T-Bag;
T-Bag, as I said, is a pedophile who is one of the people that basically runs the prison; Nobody screws with T-Bag. In prison, a pedophile wouldn't be running anything. The soap cell-phone was another complaint I heard, but listen to this though. If we looked for pure realism in everything we watched, we wouldn't enjoy a lot of movies. That's like saying, I turned off "The Lord of the Rings" right from the beginning because there's no such thing as a hobbit. The show is exciting, entertaining, and interesting...It makes sense, most of the time (the soap cell-phone was kind of...Unbelievable). All the actors are absolutely amazing; Robert Knepper quite literally does some acting that could easily pull him an Oscar nomination, had this show been a movie or something. He's absolutely incredible. Wentworth Miller is perfect as Scofield; You can believe that he's a college graduate (in real life he is) and you can believe his plan for the most part. All the other actors I mentioned above are good, other stand outs are Stacy Keach as Warden Pope and Sarah Wayne-Callies as Sarah Tancredi, the doctor of the prison. Anyway, here's an overview of all the episodes and some opinions of mine. Bottom line is, if you like tense, exciting, well-acted, well-written, and thought-provoking shows. Check this one out:
1. Pilot-This Brett Ratner directed episode is exactly what a pilot should be. It holds your attention firmly in its grasp and leaves you wanting more.
2. Allen-A tense, exciting episode. Riots and toe clipping are among the things that occur in this episode.
3. Cell Test-This is a show where every episode is better than the last one. This episode has some twists and progresses nicely.
4. Cute Poison-I love this episode. The dialogue (especially between Sucre and his girlfriend) is great; The cliffhanger at the end of the episode is very nervewracking. The only thing this episode suffers from is a poorly edited "Previously on Prison Break" montage.
5. English, Fitz, or Percy-Tense, sometimes funny, but with a predictable twist at the end. Ignoring the latter, a fine episode.
6. Riots, Drills, and The Devil (Part 1)-I've seen all these episodes and know what happens in the end; But this episode is still extremely exciting and suspenceful. It doesn't get much better than this.
7. Riots, Drills, and The Devil (Part 2)-Just as good as the previous episode. The chemistry between Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Sarah, the doctor is absolutely perfect.
8. The Old Head-The "big twist" is revealed in this episode. This episode isn't as good as the last two, but this one is more about setting up the next episodes then it is about actually doing anything.
9. Tweener-The title refers to a new important character in the series. Frankly, I find this character annoying...But that's the point and he is a good actor. I like this episode anyway, though.
10. Sleight of Hand-There's some unnessary "decieve the audience" moments, but it's good nonetheless.
11. And Then There Were 7-An exciting episode; A lot of unreal stuff happens, but...Yeah, very cool.
12. Odd Man Out-A nervewracking ending. Several twists are piled into this episode.
13. End of the Tunnel-When I saw this when it first aired, this was supposed to be the "Breakout Episode." I knew something was up when there was only 5 minutes left and they hadn't made it. This is an awesome episode though, the 4 month wait after it for new episodes sucked though. Their is a bulls**t moment, however...The pipe is replaced way too quick.
14. The Rat-The title is of course a double entendre; This episode is only meant to further the series, it's good...But it's one of those episodes when you first see it, you're disappointed.
15. By the Skin and the Teeth-This episode has genuinely funny moments. Like "The Donkey"
and "Who's Matlock?" It also has a cool twist towards the end. A fine episode.
16. Brother's Keeper-This episode is a bunch of flashbacks revealing how the future-escapees ended up in Fox River. The Sucre one is funny, the T-Bag one is realistic; This episode isn't completely necessary, but enjoyable.
17. J Cat-This is an awesome episode. It's hilarious, kinda sad, and entertaining at the same time.
18. Bluff-This episode has it's good moments and it's dull ones, but the good ones make up for that...The ending is very good.
19. The Key-A "key" character returns to the show, you start to hate Tweener a little bit more, and they end the show with one of the biggest cliff-hangers yet.
20. Tonight-I like this one, but it's one of those episodes that just builds and builds. But the tension is existent, so...Yeah, it's good.
21. Go-This is one of the most exciting episodes I've ever seen of any TV show. Totally gets your heart racing.
22. Flight-"We run." It seems kind of unbelievable, the situation their thrown in towards the end; But, it's still good.
