Following an intriguing press tour where Jack Quaid appeared increasingly battered at a Clippers game, the much-anticipated R-rated action comedy, "Novocaine," has hit theaters. Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," stars as a man who feels no pain, seemingly relishing in the opportunity to be drenched in fake blood for the film.
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 the film's "clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun."
