Following a press tour that showcased Jack Quaid progressively more battered at a Clippers game, the highly anticipated R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Starring Quaid as a man who feels no pain, the film seems to play into his knack for getting drenched in fake blood, a trait fans have seen in his role in "The Boys."
IGN critic Lena Wilson praises "Novocaine" in her review, noting that the film "offers more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe." She highlights its "clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun."
