Novocaine succeeds in merging the genres of action, comedy, and romance, creating a distinctly quirky cinematic experience. While it does not innovate within the genre, it provides a refreshing interpretation of established tropes bolstered by commendable performances and a compelling soundtrack.

    I think the movie was… just fine… There were some funny moments and I like Jack Quaid. But there was really nothing special in it. And it irked me a bit to see the protagonist get pretty nasty maimed… even though he just shook it off.

    All in all hardly a memorable movie for me. I’ve recently watched Borderline and that one made a better impression.

      The streaming algorithms have really nailed “perfectly adequate, totally forgettable” content, it’s pretty much all there is.

        Everything there already ever was is, still is. Maybe use your effort and attention to pick things to watch instead of advertising.

    It was dumb as shit. Nepo baby lead sucked as always, premise was ignorant, action was sloppy and stupid…I could go on. Kick Ass was already a stupid, stupid, but far better movie.
