Not Quite Painless - Novocaine review by griggs
I missed Novocaine in the cinema—wrong continent, wrong time. It’s not quite as wild or unhinged as it could have been, but there’s still a good bit of fun. Quaid holds it all together nicely, but Amber Midthunder walks away with the whole thing. It might not be a classic, but it's definitely better than expected.

Fun ride - Novocaine review by Alphaville
A well-written fast-paced action thriller black comedy romcom that works. Our hero’s inability to feel pain becomes his superpower as he chases after his abducted girlfriend, all the while losing traction through bullet wounds, stab wounds, torture… You’ll cringe as you laugh.

Very Violent Yet Forgettable Cartoon Character Sick Comedy Thriller set at Christmas - Novocaine review by PV
OK so this is is billed as a THRILLER which it is not. It is like Home Alone, or all those Touchstone comedies, cartoon character comedy. with added gore and 'grand guinol' gratuitous and gory violence - though the writer of it has written 2 gory horror movies before, so that is why.
The tone was uneven, a bit icky - one minute it was comedy, the next gruesome gory bloody violence and lots of swearing too. I love black comedy, but I would not call this that - its tone is odd, with jokes including slapstick visual comedy in the midst of violence and gore.
I have nothing against explicit violence and gore when it is justified. Here it is gratuitous no doubt to appeal to a teen audience raised on SAW-style torture porn. For me, it's just boring.
On the plus side it is pacy and short, a gorefest sick comedy perfect for a drunken Friday night with friends at Christmas. With DIE HARD maybe.
Almost 3 but 2 stars.
