Did Brooke Die???

wait... i just saw this over the weekend. i had the same question..was she in on it?? It was a plant in his class??

Brooke and the blonde woman in leather appeared in the same scene so how could they have been the same person? Brooke saw Oliver Lang make a pick-up in a multi-storey car park. Brooke stayed hidden and the other person involved in the pick up was the blonde woman in leather.

actually no - if they wanted to f#ck with us, the ponytail-girl credit could be an alias, and could be the same actress. It ain't, but the fact that there's a separate credit doesn't mean it wasn't the same actress. This is analogous to the 'Alan Smithee' director alias - when a director wants to get paid for a film but not use his real name, it's been a known thing for years that Alan Smithee is the pseudonym used. Another confirmed case is Walter Matthau being credited as Matuschanskayasky in 'Earthquake'. So, different names in the credits <> different actors.
How about this? If Brooke was a plant/conspirator, why would she call & leave the message on his answering machine, only to have the other conspirators delete it? The movie showed her snooping around like Nancy Drew to confirm her growing suspicion, while at 1st she was shown not buying into Jeff Bridges' paranoia. Then , she gets the 'Eureka' moment, and immediately calls him. What would be the point of having the conspirators authorize a message on the answring machine, then deleting it? He only finds out that he had deleted messages by accident, when the FBI guy tells him he called the same day. There's no way the conspirators could've arranged that; in fact, it's obvious they knew Brooke left a warning message, & didn't want him to know. Finally, if she was a conspirator, why go to the length of staging a road accident, putting another body in the car (which presumably could be identified by dental records), when she could simply 'disappear' by leaving him a 'dear John' letter, i.e. '...I can't take your paranoia, you're still obsessed with your dead wife', etc.? It would serve the double purpose of distracting him from uncovering the conspiracy.
When there are multiple explanations, simple & complicated, take the simple one 1st (Occam's razor). It's logically impossible that Brooke was a conspirator, ergo, she was a victim of them, since she got in the way. Tim Robbins said as much.

You are correct, mc4459. It was Jenni Tooley who played the character who claimed Faraday said the men "would burn". This claim about Tiffany Grant is absurd.

But then this whole thread is absurd. It just proves some people have amazingly poor comprehension skills when they watch movies.

Calling the OP dumb might be a little extreme, but his/her observation and critical thinking skills are woeful lacking. The number of people on this board who fell for this is actually quite shocking. Other than both having blond hair, Brooke and the terrorist girl at the end looked nothing alike. Different eyes, cheek bones, body weight.

This does highlight something though, namely why eyewitness testimony in any court case should always be taken with a grain of salt, unless corroborated by numerous other eye witnesses, and why no one should ever be sentenced to death penalty based primarily on the testimony of a couple of eye witnesses.
