"This movie was a lot of fun. There were a bunch of cringe worthy gore and practical effects, but that's what makes this a wild ride. Jack Quaid stars as a regular, unassuming guy with a rare condition that makes him unable to feel pain. He uses this to his benefit as he tries to save his newfound love, who's been taken hostage by bank robbers. Wild hijinks and hilarity ensues. There are plenty of plot holes, but you kind of have to overlook them for the sake of this type of movie. A good solid popcorn flick. 8/10"
"Honestly it was kind of gross to watch I had to look away several times but action packed and fun "

"3.5 stars. Entertaining enough, nothing to write home about. Overall I think the whole ‘no pain action hero’ plot is quite interesting and unique. I just think it could have been done a little better. "

"An incredibly entertaining film. Despite the extremely simple yet bonkers premise, what really makes this film soar is the total commitment by the cast and crew throughout. Great camerawork, stunts, and editing, mixed in with some really hilarious moments that makes the film never once feel boring. None of the film would work to the degree it does without the charming lead performance by Jack Quaid, who has really inherited both his parents' charisma (especially his mother Meg Ryan) and sells both the dramatic and comedic moments remarkably well; cannot wait to see more of him in the lead in films (love his work in THE BOYS). Strong supporting cast too (including Jack Nicholson's youngest son Ray Nicholson). This is definitely a film worth a watch if one is interested in a movie for its pure entertainment value, not to mention an action film that is carried by the lead performance."

"This movie is very well written and has well defined characters. It's action packed, internally consistent, and pretty funny."

"Novocaine was a lot of fun to watch with a friend. Jack Quaid's Nathan seems like a likeable guy and it was cool seeing Amber Midthunder and Ray Nicholson share the screen as well. The action is pretty good (very much cartoon-style at times) and the sense of humor mostly worked for me. I going to have to try more of Quaid's work soon."
