Quaid stars as a man who can't feel pain, and it seems the 'The Boys' star has fully embraced the role, often seen covered in fake blood.
In her IGN review, critic Lena Wilson praises "Novocaine" for offering more depth than its seemingly gimmicky premise might suggest. She highlights the film's "clever storytelling and character writing," reminiscing about the joy of watching movies in theaters.
