- Milton-3 jI really enjoyed it! There were moments when the "bad guys" seemed to have an unusual resistance to pain as well, which made me deduct points, but overall, I had a great time watching. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family!
- MDanihy-6 jThis was a fun movie to watch, I think the brutality was just right. :D
- Ahmed R23 mars 2025Almost no CGI, centered around Jack Quaid and who on earth doesn't love this guy, no over acting or any cringing in comedy, action or drama. Light family that doesn't disappoint but with late cosy night not omg I can't see this. I think the name of the movie might contradict another show. Chemistry is amazing between all of them despite short appearances, but have to admit, personally I don't like Amy (Sherry) as it reminds of my ex😅 Would looooove to see a second part.
- Alex | Pop Culture Brain20 mars 2025Gnarly fun, funny and surprisingly sweet, well constructed script if a little broad in parts.
- Snedaker21Hill20 mars 2025Definitely hilarious in some parts, slow in others, and who does not love Jack Quaid? I really wanted to love this movie but I just liked this movie, it has all the right parts, the right cast, and the good hilarious/gut turning laughs at someone who cannot feel pain but sure looks like they should be. Will watch again
- xmploryg19 mars 2025Really good. It's a fast ride exactly where you expect it to take you. They new the assignment and passed with flying colors.
- Spoons17 mars 2025Novocaine introduces us to Nathan Caine (Jack Quaid), a mild-mannered assistant bank manager in San Diego, living with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA). This rare condition means he cannot feel physical pain, leading him to meticulously baby-proof his life to avoid unnoticed injuries. His cautious existence is upended when he develops feelings for his co-worker, Sherry Margrave (Amber Midthunder), who reciprocates his interest. Their budding romance takes a dramatic turn when a gang of robbers, led by the ruthless Simon Greenly (Ray Nicholson), targets their bank. The heist goes awry, resulting in the death of the bank manager and the abduction of Sherry. Driven by newfound courage and affection, Nathan embarks on a perilous mission to rescue her, leveraging his inability to feel pain as an unexpected advantage. Jack Quaid delivers a compelling performance as Nathan, capturing the essence of an everyman thrust into extraordinary circumstances. His portrayal balances vulnerability with the dark humor inherent in his character’s condition. The film uses Nathan’s pain insensitivity to great comedic effect, especially in scenes where he remains unfazed by injuries that horrify those around him. Ray Nicholson’s portrayal of Simon adds depth to the narrative. His intense and magnetic screen presence complements Quaid’s understated performance, creating a dynamic interplay between hero and antagonist. Nicholson’s recent surge in prominent roles showcases his versatility and growing prominence in the industry. The film’s pacing is relentless, immersing the audience in Nathan’s chaotic journey through the criminal underworld. Director duo Dan Berk and Robert Olsen skillfully blend action and dark comedy, reminiscent of films like Mr. Nobody and Super. The screenplay by Lars Jacobson provides sharp dialogue and inventive scenarios that keep viewers engaged. Novocaine maintains momentum with its non-stop pace and inventive action sequences. The film’s ability to balance humor, violence, and character development results in an entertaining experience that resonates with fans of the genre. In conclusion, Novocaine is a darkly comedic action film that leverages its unique premise to deliver a thrilling narrative. Jack Quaid and Ray Nicholson’s performances elevate the story, making it a must-watch for those seeking a blend of sharp wit and gut-wrenching scenes. As both actors continue to rise in prominence, their work in this film stands as a testament to their talent and versatility.
- Ryezoo15 mars 2025This is a blast. Hilarious and some squirm inducing violence. Some nice surprises and some great chemistry between the leads. Jack Quaid is off to a great start in 2025! My one nitpick is that this movie runs maybe 10 mins to long. Still absolutely worth a watch and a strong recommend!
- COCO11 mars 2025Jack Quaid world domination and I’m here for it. It’s been a while since we’ve had a movie where a normal flawed dude reluctantly kick ass and gets the girl so it’s nice to see a perfect mixture of a quirky and cheerful version of John Wick with a touch of Kickass all over it. Even though the premise is pretty silly, the bloodshed throughout is more than enough to make up for it’s flaws. Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Jacob Batalon is in-fact 6’4 and looks like Jason Momoa.
