10 Awful Films Prison Break Actors Want You To Forget
These are the movies that the Prison Break stars don't want you to know about.
Every year, there is a show that everyone becomes utterly infatuated with.
At one point, The Sopranos had that honour. At another time, it was Breaking Bad, and in 2006, it was Prison Break that the masses were obsessing about.
The story kicks off after one Lincoln Burrows is framed for a crime he didn't commit and is sent to jail. His brother, Michael Scofield, gets himself arrested so he can be sent to the same facility in order to break Linc out. However, the siblings soon realise that Burrows' framing was simply a small part of a conspiracy bigger than they could ever imagine.
Because twists galore and every episode ending on three or four cliffhangers, viewers couldn't help coming back for more. Not only that, fans fell in love with the ensemble cast, which included terrific characters like Bellick, Alex Mahone, Abruzzi, and T-Bag.
You may have enjoyed the actors' performances so much, you might want to check them out in other series and films.
Be warned. Even the most talented actors are not immune to starring in a few duds. No matter how much you loved these actors' performances in Prison Break, give these movies a wide berth.
10. Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burrows) - Blade: Trinity
Blade will always be significant since it was the first Marvel movie to receive a cinematic release (apart from Howard the Duck but let's not mention that). With its phenomenal fight scenes, hilarious one-liners, and a badass performance by Wesley Snipes, Blade was among the best action films of the 1990s.
And when it was announced the vampire king himself, Dracula, would appear in Blade: Trinity, fans couldn't contain their excitement. Although Dominic Purcell sounds like an odd choice for the the iconic villain, he fits into the role of the Transylvanian Count quite well.
Sadly, the character is so underwritten, Purcell doesn't get a chance to do anything with the role strut, hiss, and glare.. The most memorable thing he does is chat with a woman about vampire vibrators. (I still can't believe this was directed by the same guy who wrote the story for The Dark Knight).
However, Dracula's portrayal is the least of this film's problems. The action is generic, Ryan Reynolds' jokes fall flat, the editing is choppy, and Snipes is sleepwalking through every scene.
It's refreshing Marvel is rebooting the series since Blade: Trinity left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
