Novocaine
When the girl of his dreams is kidnapped, a man (Jack Quaid)
incapable of feeling physical pain turns his rare condition into an unexpected
advantage in the fight to rescue her. The action scenes are purposefully absurd,
and although some bits are over the top, others are pure comedy action
brilliance. Jack Quaid is fitting right in to his lead character roles, and
Ray Nicholson is mastering the wild eyed psycho role. Jack Quaid
proves he's a leading man, and the entire film proves that you don't need to be
part of a franchise to make an entertaining action comedy.
