THE CAT is a German crime thriller, from 1988, in which bandits hold bank employees hostage and demand a ransom.

violence
People are shot, beaten and strangled in scenes which result in blood in the aftermath.
threat and horror
Several prolonged scenes of threat include armed bandits holding bank employees hostage at gunpoint. A female hostage is ordered to remove her blouse. However, there is no sexually violent intent as her captor does not want her wound to become infected. There are also verbal threats to kill.
language
Strong language ('f**k') occurs, as well as milder terms ('wanker', 'shit', 'arsehole', 'arse', 'screw', 'God', 'hell').
sex
Scenes include brief thrusting and fleeting sexualised nudity.
injury detail
There is emphasis on blood and injury detail following shootings and beatings.
additional issues
A person takes their own life. There are also brief verbal references to suicide. Negatively presented characters describe a person as a 'dwarf'; however, discrimination is not condoned by the film as a whole. There are also brief verbal threats of sexual violence and occasional drug references.
