Following a press tour where Jack Quaid appeared increasingly battered 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 the opportunity to be drenched in fake blood.

In her IGN review, critic Lena Wilson praises "Novocaine" for offering more substance than its 'man who feels no pain' gimmick suggests. She highlights the film's "clever storytelling and character writing," evoking a nostalgic charm reminiscent of the joy of movie-going.
