Novocaine Viewing Guide: Showtimes and Streaming Details

After a press tour that recently saw Jack Quaid looking increasingly battered at a Clippers game, the highly anticipated R-rated action comedy, Novocaine, has hit theaters. Quaid stars as a man who can't feel pain, leading fans to humorously speculate that the 'The Boys' alum intentionally seeks out roles drenched in fake blood.

In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson commends Novocaine for surpassing the expectations set by its seemingly gimmicky premise. She notes that the film's "clever storytelling and character writing" evoke the joy of traditional movie-going experiences, making it a refreshing cinematic treat.
