Holding On is a highly charged and intricately plotted contemporary thriller set in London's gangland. Yet the film is not so much concerned with the mechanics of violence and retribution as with the arbitrary and unpredictable effects that a single violent act has when everyone involved is working to a different agenda. This thriller keeps taking you into dark alleys that constantly turn into dead ends. It carefully builds a maze of tension with unpredictable and unexpected events creating a highly charged contemporary film noir that echoes British movies Get Carter and The Long Good Friday.
