'Novocaine' review: Jack Quaid crushes as an unlikely action hero who can't feel pain

Summary

60% Informative

Novocaine stars Jack Quaid as Nathan Caine , a mild-mannered assistant bank manager who has congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis.

The ensuing ride is the perfect showcase for Quaid 's charms, as he elevates a serviceable action comedy to a damn great time.

Amber Midthunder is saddled more with a manic pixie dream girl-type role.

Quaid keeps talking through it like everything is normal, but the blood oozing from his arm suggests otherwise. That's only the tip of Novocaine 's gnarly iceberg, which puts Nathan 's body through the ringer, even if he may stay chipper for quite a bit of it. And while I don't actively wish harm on movie protagonists, I will say that thanks to Quaid , it's never been more fun watching someone get hurt. Novocaine hits theaters March 14 ..
