Following a press tour that showcased Jack Quaid increasingly battered at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Quaid, known from 'The Boys', stars as a man who feels no pain, and it seems he's more than willing to get covered in fake blood for the role.
In her IGN review, critic Lena Wilson notes 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."
If you're planning to catch "Novocaine" in theaters or want to know when it will be available to stream, here are all the details you need.
