Following a press tour where Jack Quaid appeared increasingly battered at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has now hit theaters. Starring Quaid as a man immune to pain, it seems the 'The Boys' alum relishes the chance to be drenched in fake blood. In her IGN review, critic Lena Wilson praises "Novocaine" for offering "more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe," highlighting its "clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun."
