Following a press tour where Jack Quaid appeared increasingly battered at a Clippers game, the much-anticipated R-rated action comedy, "Novocaine," has hit theaters. Starring Quaid as a man who feels no pain, it seems the 'The Boys' actor is fully embracing his role, often seen covered in fake blood.
In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson praises "Novocaine" for offering "more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe." She highlights the film's "clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun."
