Novocaine

"Even with a gimmick engineered to orchestrate endless bursts of Looney Tunes-style hyperviolence, “Novocaine” lives up to its name, all right — a tedious action-comedy so numbingly bland, you feel the pain of its 110-minute run time (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)" 

"A sidesplitting, ultraviolent and adorable action-comedy (...) Jack Quaid was born for a role like this." 

"It’s a gory, bonkers action-comedy premise anchored by a set of strong performances and a surprisingly poignant meet-cute (...) Rating: 8 (out of 10)" 

"What keeps it from deflating into tiresome shtick (which it very nearly does) is Quaid with his gawky, boyish charisma" 

"This movie breathes new life into old ideas, with an original hero buoyed by the charm of Jack Quaid and a heroine who ably beats the damsel-in-distress allegations (...) Rating: 8 (out of 10)" 

"Despite the stylish direction from the duo of Dan Berk and Robert Olsen and winning performances by Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder, [the film] sputters to the finish line (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Novocaine, which amusingly employs REM’s 'Everybody Hurts' to accompany the opening credits, would probably have eventually worn out its welcome were it not for Quaid’s terrific performance."
