After a press tour that showcased Jack Quaid looking progressively more battered at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Starring Quaid as a man who feels no pain, it appears the 'The Boys' veteran isn't shy about getting covered in fake blood for his roles.
In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson highlights that "Novocaine offers more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe," praising its "clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun."
