Novocaine (2025) - REVIEW

There isn't much to say about Novocaine that the trailers haven't said already. With the likes of Nobody and the John Wick films making an impact on the action genre, Novocaine arrives with its own unlikely hero with a unique ability and tries to run away with it and just have a good time. To be fair, I had a good time with Novocaine overall but I can't bring myself to say it's great.

Jack Quaid plays him with a great degree of charm and likeability but there's also a relatability in the introverted loneliness that living with his condition has created. I like how the opening scenes set out the hindrances of living with the condition and why his blossoming relationship with Amber Midthunder's Sherry is so important. Enough is done in the early stages to somewhat justify the implausible and unlikely scenario about to unfold, plus there's an interesting little twist in the set up that the trailers haven't spoiled and I won't spoil here.

it has a black sense of humour and I laughed out loud multiple times throughout but at the same time, I felt the humour did compensate for action choreography that didn't feel hard hitting in the ways I wanted it to. Quaid's Novocaine takes many comedic hits and sustains gruesome injuries which amuse to no end, but I did feel that the offensive action by the hero himself to be notably lacking. This was especially felt in the final third of the film when the laughs dried up in favour of the serious stakes of the story. But when the end credits rolled, I did find myself feeling satisfied by nearly two hours of solid entertainment.

VERDICT

I do think it could've been better with its action choreography, however Jack Quaid is perfectly charming as Novocaine and the film entertains for most of its run.

3.5/5

jercy except they're awkward asf and take actual years to get together. and i mean "awkward" as in "oblivious" and "oblivious" as in "everybody knows they like each other and they know they like each other but they don't know their feelings are reciprocated even though they're obvious asf".

and when i say everyone knows they like each other, i mean everyone, including people who couldn't possibly see percy and/or jason as anything but straight (cough cough my mortal pjo ocs cough cough). like these two are so obvious people are just changing their worldviews and dismantling stereotypes and biases

i'm just imagining percy going to college in new rome and jason, who has moved to camp half-blood full time, randomly deciding he also lives in new rome now and just... hanging around all the time. and breaking into percy's dorm.

don't even get me started on the blushing... oh my god. like how can you blush that much and watch someone blush that much and still not realize they like you back. annabeth can't figure out the answer yet here percy and jason are, doing exactly that

jason who draws percy whenever he gets tired of drawing blueprints for temples but still wants something to do

percy who gushes about jason to anybody who'll listen (cough cough my mortal pjo oc who he's closest with especially now that annabeth and nico refuse to listen to his queer rambling anymore cough cough)

jason iris messaging piper to gush about percy and her being homophobic towards him (i support her rights and her wrongs)

jercy being so adorable and in love when they finally get together that their friends can't even make fun of them (except for nico, who could not care less and is still a little salty that percy turned out to be queer the whole time)

You know what’s kinda funny to me, how people say they hate or dislike country music because it’s only about a guy losing a girlfriend or wife and drinking his sorrows away.

But if you listen to some of the older songs it’s more than that. They tell stories about soldiers who didn’t make it, missing an opportunity, a baby being born and how they changed the parents’ lives, mental health, abuse, death, the way your view on love changes as you age, disabilities, battles, how the good book can help you find a higher power, ghosts.

The people who are saying that they don’t like country music are probably only listening to the newer artists, not taking the time to go back and see the older generation and hear the stories they have to tell.

If you’re interested I can add a few songs to listen to! 🥰🤟🏻
