olivia🪷🦢Mar 13, 2025that's how i wanna go. right between jack quaid's thighs
floris 🔪Mar 8, 2025I had a lot to say about how this doesn’t fully excel at much but is a totally satiating and breezy watch because Jack Quaid is charming as hell and it strikes a good balance between pushing the central concept to its limits and maintaining the Everyman thing, but then my…

Well, that was a position to die in… This is the type of movie where you relax and turn off your brain. It was really entertaining and the action was pretty nice. Jokes were fun too Script wise, some dialogue could’ve been cut off but the movie flows very well and Jack Quaid is always fun to…
Eye Cinc likedNovocaineA fun movie with an interesting story and lots of punches... lots and lots of it. With a very interesting premise, what could be a generic action movie is actually a very enjoyable, entertaining, and surprising to watch.
zxki is "meh" onNovocaineBattle of the nepo-babies. Quaid v Nicholson. I liked the way the movie started, a little slow and predictable, but I could sense something cooking. The more I found out about the characters and story, the more impatient I got. Unfortunately, the 'mic drop' moment felt underwhelming, and from then…

I really don’t know how to rate this. This was so stupid (which is what i was expecting) but kinda in an entertaining way. heavy on the kinda! Honestly, i could’ve done without the romance. those two have hardly any chemistry together. Pretty decent soundtrack tho. 6/10
Kailyn Porter likedNovocaineSick, i really liked this one, it was so funny to me and for the most part, i just had a chill time watching it (a stark contrast between what the characters experienced) however i dont think i would watch it again, some of the..well maiming just made my heart hurt
Kevin likedNovocaineA very entertaining film with great action and CGI. This film was really enjoyable and fun. The goriness was incredibly well done, and it made the action ten times better. The story itself was pretty basic, but you kind of expect that from a film like this. Jack was great.

Must watch!!!
GRG rizzleReally 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.
MWMatt WedenIt 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..
AAAustin Allredwent 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!
MAMarvin AndradeI 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.
BTBaruk TavoraSo much fun. And original.
ABAaron BleickVery clever on how someone with no sense of pain utilizes some situations as positives

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.
