Following a press tour where Jack Quaid, star of 'The Boys,' was seen progressively more battered at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Quaid plays a man who can't feel pain, seemingly embracing roles that involve copious amounts of fake blood.
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."
