Following a press tour where Jack Quaid appeared increasingly battered at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Starring Quaid as a man who can't feel pain, it seems the 'The Boys' alum enjoys getting drenched in fake blood for his roles.
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" on the big screen or curious about its streaming availability, here's all the information you need.
