The film features strong language punctuated by several uses of the 'f-word' and other profanities consistent with an R-rated thriller.

Additionally, there are scattered instances of mild to moderate insults and religious exclamations used for emphasis.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in The Invisible Man
