After a press tour that saw Jack Quaid progressively more battered at a Clippers game, the highly anticipated R-rated action comedy Novocaine has finally hit theaters. Quaid stars as a man who feels no pain, and it seems the 'The Boys' star goes to great lengths to get covered in fake blood for the role.
In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson praises the film, stating, “Novocaine offers 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.”
If you're eager to see Novocaine in theaters or curious about its streaming availability, here's everything you need to know:
