Novocaine - Reviews

The goodwill from that exhilarating start eventually dissipated as the main gag was recycled ad nauseam.

...is a spotlight moment for Jack Quaid, and it’s a success in that respect.

Here’s to more of this sort of clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun.

...the star is also the thing that keeps the movie going.

As blood spatters and bodies bend, crack, and twist, “Novocaine” keeps you laughing, grimacing, and flinching, even as Nate does none of the above.

This compelling action-comedy skillfully balances graphic violence with authentic emotion and sharp humor.

We’re used to heroes who can take a licking and keep on ticking, but Novocaine takes action-movie invulnerability to brutal comic extremes.

Directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen understand that a good action movie must royally beat its hero up six ways to Sunday, and sure enough, Nathan takes some real hits, taking full advantage of his condition.

Jack Quaid delivers a charming performance as a man incapable of feeling pain in Dan Berk and Robert Olsen's ultraviolent action-comedy.

Jack Quaid is put through the grinder in ultraviolent action comedy.

Bra mix av svart humor och våldsam action.

...tålmodighed belønnes, og filmskaberne afbalancerer de eksplosive højdepunkter med god humor.

Jack Quaid briljerar i den här actionkomedin som smärtfri antihjälte inkastad i brutal men underhållande kamp för kärleken.
