This year hasnt exactly blown me away when it comes to new movies.

Novocaine gave me exactly that when I saw it in theaters in March.

Its the first time in a long while that I actually had fun watching something.

The kind of fun where your hearts racing and your eyes dont leave the screen.

Heres everything you better know before hitting play.

What is Novocaine about?

Simon Greenly (Ray Nicholson) is the charismatic yet unhinged leader of the criminal gang behind the heist.

This action-comedy, on the other hand, went by so fast I was surprised to see the credits.

When a movie whizzes by like that, its a clear sign that I had a good time.

But its the added twist of him not being able to feel pain that makes this so intriguing.

Its wild stuff, but somehow, it all works.

So yes, this movie may not be suitable for those who arent fans of violent sequences.

However, its not just the action that impressed me, but the movies ability to just let loose.

And to be fair, theres a mid-movie twist I genuinely didnt see coming.

Jack Quaid once again proves hes built for these kinds of roles.

So if youve been scrolling forever trying to find something fun to watch, let this be your sign.

Its the kind of painkiller your watchlist probably needs right now.
