Prison Break (TV Series) Hell or High Water (2008) User Reviews

Fast moving and exciting

[benedictxvi_pope · 10/10 · 12 February 2008]

This was one of the best Prison Break episodes for a while, probably the best so far in Season 3. It was fast moving, exciting, and ended with a classic Prison Break cliff-hanger at the end. With lots of action and events all packed into one episode, it did not disappoint.

From a critical perspective, there were some slightly strange, rather intangible moments, but it does remain to be a show which appeals to its viewers by being believable, unlike shows like Lost and Heroes.

This season has finally kicked into action and everyone will be disappointed after the next episode when there will be another long period of time before the next offering of the great TV series!

The Real Plan

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 15 November 2008]

When Lechero, T-Bag and Bellick run to the fence, they are captured by the guards. However, this was the real plan of Michael that waits with Whistler, Mahone and McGrady the exact moment to leave the hideout. When Bellick shows the tunnel, the quartet breaks-out Sona, meeting with Lincoln on the beach, where Whistler notes that he lost the book with the coordinates. They use breathing apparatuses and swim underwater to a buoy, waiting for Sucre. However their fellow is cuffed to a file drawer in Sona. But McGrady's father finds the boat 312 moored in the marina and he rescues the escapees. McGrady follows with his father, while the car of Lincoln and the fugitives is chased by Gretchen's men. However they find the GPS in Whistler's watch and they lure the gangsters in a shootout later. When Sucre is released in Sona, T-Bag sees him and discloses his identity to the guards. Meanwhile, Mahone says goodbye and Whistler escapes from Michael and Lincoln, leaving them with nothing for a negotiation with Gretchen.

The escape of Michael and the other inmates, luring the scumbags, is the engaging part of this show. However, the attitude of Whistler leaving the brothers and not having the coordinates by heart is disappointing. The coincidence of T-Bag seeing Sucre in Sona during the torture session is also a forced situation. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Inferno ou Alto Mar" ("Hell or Deep Sea")

great ep in a while

After some filler episodes, we finally got a good exciting and fire action this season.

Season 3 didnt feel like prison break till now, hope to see more episodes like this.

They use breathing apparatuses and swim underwater to a buoy, waiting for Sucre, who will not arrive. Cuffed to a file drawer in Sona, Sucre isn't going anywhere. But McGrady's father finds the boat moored in the marina and rescues the escapees. After thanking Michael for saving his life, McGrady leaves with his father. Lincoln and the fugitives are chased by Gretchen's men. However finding a GPS in Whistler's watch, they lure the gangsters in a shootout later.
