After a whirlwind press tour where Jack Quaid was spotted looking increasingly battered at a Clippers game, the eagerly anticipated R-rated action comedy, "Novocaine," has hit theaters. Starring Quaid as a man who can't feel pain, it seems like the 'The Boys' alum is relishing the chance to get drenched in fake blood for his role.
In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson praises the film, noting, "Novocaine offers 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."
If you're eager to catch "Novocaine" on the big screen or curious about when it will be available to stream, here's all the information you need.
