Atom User Reviews for Novocaine
Must watch!!!
Really solid movie. It's exactly what you expect; a little funny, over the top action and a bit goofy. It's a VERY fun movie. Bit of gore thrown in. I'd watch it again.
It was a great move, was not expecting the outcome, I will watch it again, next on watch is death of unicorn
I liked this movie. I thought it was really good. It wasn't really a comedy, although parts were funny, but it was serious. Well done..
went with my parents to see this and it was pretty funny and full of action cast was spot on and just all around good movie!
I love it, the protagonist has done a magnificent job love it ❤️
The beginning was boring. I found myself falling asleep and I said the actions gotta start soon and when it did, I wasn’t let down. I wish I had that kind of condition where I did not have to feel any pain.
So much fun. And original.
Very clever on how someone with no sense of pain utilizes some situations as positives
Metacritic
Thrillers live on tension and rising suspense. This one discards suspense too early. And action comedies are, by design, fast and furious. This one, while serving up some serioulsy gory action and splatter film laughs, can’t get out of its own way.
Novocaine belongs to the same cinemasochistic tradition as movies like Evil Dead II and Crank, where the audience is invited to derive twisted pleasure from watching a heroic leading man get the crap beaten out of him in inventive ways. It’s not as good as those movies. But on its own terms, it’s painless enough. Pleasurable even.
Jack Quaid was born for a role like this. The actor’s unassuming cheerfulness provides the perfect comedic counterpoint to the film’s increasingly absurd gross-out action gags.
