Prison Break

without comments

This holiday, I saw Prison Break, the new series on FOX, on my cousin’s house.

The basic plot is this: a man gets into prison, where his older brother is also jailed, waiting in the death row. The younger brother, however, planed everything since the beginning, just waiting to break out with his brother.

I’m quite impressed with what I saw, the first four episodes (of a total of 22): they don’t hide the bad things that happen in a prison (not that I’ve been there, but, anyway), the plot goes straigth where it wants and this is a great suprise, as you are always waiting for the worst.

Acting could be a little better. One of the inmates, from a spanish family, played by Amaury Nolasco, when trying to speak in spanish, fails miserabily. The older brother, played by Dominic Purcell (from the “John Doe” fame) also has a poor acting. Wentworth Miller, playing the young brother, on other hand, build a very strong character, stealing every scene where he’s in.

If you have FOX or a fast pipe to download the torrents, go for it.
