Following a press tour that showcased Jack Quaid progressively more battered at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Quaid stars as a man who can't feel pain, seemingly embracing roles that require copious amounts of fake blood, a nod to his work in "The Boys."
In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson praises "Novocaine" for offering "more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe," highlighting its "clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun."
