‘Novocaine’ is an action-comedy featuring Jack Quaid as Nathan Caine, a bank manager with congenital insensitivity to pain (CIPA). This rare condition renders him unable to feel physical pain, which becomes a pivotal part of the movie. Nathan embarks on a rescue mission, leveraging his unique condition as an unconventional advantage.

The film’s tone blends dark humor with intense action sequences. The fight choreography is intense, with a gritty, almost John Wick-style aesthetic.

There is a dynamic camera approach, capturing the chaotic and visceral nature of the protagonist’s journey.

This blend of brutal action and deadpan humor gives ‘Novocaine’ its distinct tone. It was a pretty fun movie.
