Following a press tour where Jack Quaid sported increasingly battered looks at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," stars as a man who can't feel pain, seemingly embracing roles that involve getting drenched in 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."
If you're eager to see "Novocaine" in theaters or curious about its streaming availability, here's all the information you need:
