Novocaine

CriticsCritics: 70
AudienceAudience: 6.7

When a sheltered bank employee’s new romance is interrupted by a robbery and kidnapping, he sets out to rescue her. His inability to feel physical pain helps him withstand a dangerous pursuit, but his lack of experience makes every confrontation unpredictable and increasingly chaotic.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, absurd action-comedy with dark humor and graphic violence; Not for you if you prefer grounded stories, subtle comedy, or restrained brutality.
