After a press tour that recently featured Jack Quaid looking progressively more beat up at a Clippers game, Novocaine has arrived in theaters. The R-rated action comedy stars Quaid as a man who feels no pain, so it’s starting to seem like ‘The Boys’ veteran goes out of his way to get covered in fake blood.

In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson states that “Novocaine offers more depth than its gimmicky ‘man who feels no pain’ premise may lead you to believe,” with “clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun.”
