Following a press tour that saw Jack Quaid sporting increasingly battered looks at a Clippers game, the much-anticipated R-rated action comedy, *Novocaine*, has now hit the 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 for the film.
IGN's critic, Lena Wilson, praises *Novocaine* in her review, noting that "the movie 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."
