The climax is very intense.
During the start of the "magic trick" scene, Krieger tosses Ethan's Holy Bible on the floor and everyone ignores it for around two minutes until Ethan picks it back up. The viewers who are Christians or Catholics may find that brief moment to be very blasphemous.
The famous scene where Ethan is trying to get the NOC list in a very controlled room is intense, and suspenseful.
The film is very dark, and at times, intense with being an action thriller, giving viewers a chase of adrenaline at suspenseful times.
