This movie suffers from the following flaws 1) The entire premise of it (Sarah only being 99% exonerated) does not make any sense in context with the ending of Season 4. 2) The challenge Michael faces in getting Sarah out of Miami-dade prison does not even compare to his previous escapes from Fox River and Sona. 3) The gang boss in the women's jail, "Daddy", comes across more as a high school dork than a dangerous felon. A definite downgrade from the phenomenally villainous T-Bag and Gretchen.
4) The chief flaw is that this is basically just a watered-down, sloppy version of the season one plot (Michael tries to break a loved one out of jail, only this time, it's his wife instead of his brother Lincoln).
There are redeeming qualities, such as Michael's romantic sacrifice when he gives up his life to help Sarah escape and Mahone's inner conflict between regaining his career and staying loyal to his ally and friend, Michael, which (combined with the acting-these people could even make a cereal commercial suspenseful and exciting) is why this gets a 4 out of 10 instead of a 1. However, it's honestly a bit of a letdown. I see no real need to watch it other than pure curiosity.
