Review of Tahan (2022 VIVAMAX Film):

“Tahan na,” mixed with words of comfort, is normally said to someone who is weeping uncontrollably in hopes that the crying would stop. But in this sexy drama/thriller Tahan, the main character has so many reasons to shed tears of anguish. Can someone saying “tahan na,” be enough to stop her suffering?

At some point, Nora goes on a killing spree. The first kill is to save Elise from her abusive client.  But soon, Nora becomes a deadly threat to any man that Elise becomes intimate with.

And in comes Marcus (JC Santos), Elise’s high- school sweetheart. Now that they have reconnected, Marcus doesn’t want to lose her again.  Elise tries to shield him from Nora, just as Marcus tries to save Elise from her.

But there’s more to Nora than what Marcus or anyone can see. And Elise’s troubles are bigger than what they seem. The story of “Tahan” is a product of the creative mind of Cloe’s friend and fellow sexy actress, Quinn Carillo. Cloe Barreto plays Elise, who works as a high-end escort for wealthy businessmen and politicians Even before she reached her teens, Elise was already thrown into prostitution. What makes it more tragic is the fact that it was her own mother that put her in that situation.
