Novocaine Ratings & Reviews
- Joey Pelicano4d agoA really awesome idea for an action movie that received B-movie treatment. The fights were executed to the idea perfectly but the rest of the story and writing seems to suffer from classic action movie tropes. If this had received enough care in pre-production, it could have been something special.
- COCOMarch 11, 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.
- rampage98April 11, 2025I did like how they let the audience in on the fun with the pain that "should" have come. He couldn’t feel pain until he fell in love with a bank robber. Turns out heartbreak hurts more than bullets.
- Rayne thunderApril 7, 2025Very attractive guy, idek remember wgat the move was abt he was so hot
- Winston Gripweed4d agoSTREAM ON PARAMOUNT+
- gilligan5000April 19, 2025Over the top and completely ridiculous…but still a fun coming of age love story with some twists along the way. Think kick-ass guns akimbo nobody level of entertainment. If you’re into those, you’ll like this.
- MeghannBApril 24, 2025Ok, hi, Jack Quaid. It's nice to see a new face in role that could have been lobbed over to Ryan Reynolds or Chris Pratt. The movie was fun, moved at a good clip, and had jarring moments of brutality and gore, which gave it an edge. The idea that the man had never tried pie in his lifetime seemed a bit far fetched, though. ;)
- cultfilmlikerApril 11, 2025Nice comedic yelling and ragdolling lol really solid physical stuff overall. Some good bits! Are we tired of seeing Jack Quaid in this role yet? lol How are you going to open with that song? Ugh lol What - this dude’s never had sex? Absolutely no way. There had to be an Arrested Development fan on the writing team that put in that “Mr. Manager” line. How’s he running around doing all this with a chicken-fried hand lol Note: “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” is one of my favorite songs of all-time and even I think that placement was a little chsssy
- Scott SmithApril 26, 2025A better than average revenge action comedy with a good twist. The Quaid kid did a good job acting in it, and there were some wild action and fight scenes. A good rock music soundtrack, too. Worth watching if you like these sorts of movies...and I do.
- yaman_nzFebruary 4, 2026I rate anything that has OMFG in the script like this.. no matter what it is.
- SAID MTSJanuary 30, 2026It’s brutalist physical comedy where the hero doesn't just take a licking—he literally can’t feel it.
- Dave BarnesJanuary 5, 2026Ok background movie, but nothing spectacular.
- Nishant AroraJune 17, 2025*Novocaine* is a shot of pure, unadulterated adrenaline, turning its high-concept premise into a wildly entertaining and gleefully gory ride. It’s a film that knows exactly what it is and leans into its absurdity with bone-crunching, laugh-out-loud results. The Good: Jack Quaid is perfectly cast as the affable lead who can’t feel pain, and his charming, wide-eyed panic grounds the film’s increasingly chaotic action. The action sequences are brutally inventive, using the central gimmick to create some truly memorable and wince-inducing set pieces. The film’s energetic pacing and unapologetic embrace of slapstick gore make for a non-stop, fun-filled experience. The Bad: The central plot is admittedly thin, serving mostly as a vehicle to get from one outrageous fight to the next. The romantic subplot that kicks off the adventure feels underdeveloped and lacks a genuine spark, making the hero’s motivation feel a bit flimsy. Furthermore, while the central gimmick is fun, it can feel repetitive by the final act, and the film occasionally overstays its welcome. A perfect popcorn flick, *Novocaine* delivers a frantic and hilarious spectacle that’s painless to watch, even if it’s ultimately forgettable.
- Franki_SamDecember 11, 2025Good old classic 90min action fun!
- tellumApril 24, 2025A basic action movie with the twist that the hero takes massive amounts of damage but feels no pain. Some funny gags are done with the premise but in that way it’s very similar to Deadpool. A funny enough movie for a date night.
