The neighbor is a terrorist. He blows up the FBI building in the end by planting a bomb in Michael Faraday's (Jeff Bridges) rented car, which Michael drives into the FBI building chasing after a white van.
This movie is freakish real. It's a great movie, to underrated. I think it is underrated because people probably thought this is going to be like a James Bond action style movie where he uncovers the terrorist plot and stops them.
@CynicalVision Yeah, right? Me too. I would be so pissed off if I had seen this trailer before. Usually, I have been avoiding watching trailers, most of the times the movie is better when you watch it without the trailer.
I can't imagine a real-world scenario where bombing conspirators would try to involve a terrorism analyst (who was a friend of an FBI agent) in a plot to try to get a bomb into the underground garage of an FBI building. When the analyst began suspecting his neighbors of plotting terrorism I believe an aggressive FBI agent would have begun extensive surveillance of the Robbins-Cusack characters & their co-conspirators. Smart conspirators would never take such a risk. Comment continues-
@LoneTinaja But that's the thing though. They are kinda smart about it. They do little things that no one would usually think twice about. Like getting next doors mail by accident, the blue prints of another building how would you explain that the he's an architect with blue prints? People are like it's his job to have blue prints. The bad guys probably kinda knew that the FBI friend would sorta think that he's insane.
I read about this ending by accident, I wanna check it out anyway despite how things turn out in the end. I would've left that movie enraged if I saw it back then.
@LoneTinaja I assumed that it was part of the terrorist's plot to move into the house across the street, not just coincidence. I also inferred that they put the bomb in the trunk of the rental car when Tim Robbins was in the warehouse beating up Jeff Bridges. That's why when Jeff Bridges "escaped" Tim Robbins got on his walkie talkie and said that the plan was a go. Also, it was probably much less implausible to assume he'd be able to drive right into the FBI building in 1999 (before 9-11).
@LoneTinaja But I do agree with both your points. Great performances (especially Joan Cusack), and pretty implausible plot. It blew me away when I first watched it in 2000, though.
what this movie is really trying to show people is that assasinations are generally carried out by using regular people. Most guys who do them are patsys or under some hypnotic mind control or something else that makes them a pawn. Generally no one acts alone.
excellent movie - it is rare that a film of this complexity and magnetism ever gets made - the true nature of evil is in the very normal culture behind clean, suburban front doors... oliver's wife (with the smile and the red lipstick) is truly creepy...
This movie is so awesome. It really reflects peoples paranoia about terrorism and conspiracies in the 90's. Another great example of paranoia and the belier in conspiracies in the 90's was the tv series the X-Files.
@fanuvgod1 You're right. Because the bad guys get away and blame it on Bridges and there's nothing you can do. Plus, makes you think that the guy living next to you can be the next Bin Laden.
@fanuvgod1 haha this is possibly the worst ending in movie history. how is it a twist in any way? the entire movie they hint at it and the entire movie nothing positive ever happens to farady. this is simply a very faulty piece of movie making. a disgrace at that. terrible terrible movie
Outstanding movie. Amazing acting, brilliant plot and the twist at the end just blew my mind! My favorite scene is the gun shootout flashback sequence.
amazing film.saw it quite a few times, its just amazing.. and bridges and robbins are so talented.. the story is awesome and it has yoo biting your nails for the whole thing.. and the ending is the best part.
really good movie! must see!, ending was sad, but good, it is how it is in the real world, when they find the person who did it, whether he is innocent or not, people will think he did it, and people will feel safe that man is away. Government and the media doesn't reveal truth all the times.
if you didn't like the ending than you weren't paying attention , watch it again , you have to watch this movie twice, you cant notice a masterpiece the first time . very hard movie not to like , unless you have zero taste or knowledge of film
if youve seen this movie then you know what a right wing extremist is. according to our government the past few months most americans are right wing extremists as well... what a crock of shit.
EXCELLENT MOVIE, JEFF BRIDGES IS ON TOP FORM, GREAT TWIST, DONT READ ANY COMMENTS BELOW THIS ONE BECAUSE SOME DICKHEAD SPOILS THE ENDING ?

Continuation of comment-In 1993 was the van
bombing in the underground garage of the World
Trade Center. In 1995 was the truck bombing of the
Oklahoma City federal building holding FBI, ATF, DEA,
etc. After those incidents security was strongly
enhanced to prevent unauthorized vehicles from
getting into underground garages of federal buildings.
The conspirators could not reasonably predict that
the FBI agent would come to the scene & tell the
security force to not stop the analyst .

Continuation of comment- In the real world terrorists
would know that the odds of Bridges being able to get
the car into the parking garage beneath the FBI
Building would be incredibly low. They would not know
that his FBI friend would come to the scene & be able
to persuade the security force to not stop him with
gunfire before he entered the parking garage.

The actors gave excellent performances. Unfortunately
the plot is highly implausible, beginning with the fact that
a researcher on terrorism just happens to live across
the street from people conspiring to blow up the FBI
Building. Throughout the film there are other implausible
events, culminating with the most implausible series of
events, beginning with the terrorists' decision to put the
bomb in the trunk of Bridges' rental car. Comment
