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.
