The much-anticipated Jack Quaid action-thriller Novocaine will appear in theaters before being released for digital VOD and streaming. The 2025 film follows Nathan Caine, a charming banker with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, as he goes after bank robbers who take hostage Sherry, the coworker he loves. One of the trailers for Novocaine was released during the Super Bowl, immediately building hype on social media. Lead actor Jack Quaid’s experience acting on the dark comedy superhero show The Boys will undoubtedly lend itself to the not-a-superhero superhero movie.
The fact that Novocaine is a standalone film, not attached to any franchises, also increases interest, as Hollywood has continued churning out sequels instead of offering something new. Luckily, the wait is worth it. Ahead of its theatrical release, Novocaine received a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score from critics, a promising sign for potential viewers. Novocaine will finally hit theaters, allowing viewers to enjoy the non-stop adventure on the big screen.
Novocaine Releases In Theaters On March 14, 2025
The Jack Quaid Action-Thriller Film Is Available In Many Formats
Novocaine runs 1 hour and 50 minutes long, and almost every moment is packed with action. The MPAA gave the Jack Quaid movie an R-rating for “strong bloody violence, grisly images, and language throughout.” Having seen an early showing of Novocaine, I can tell you that this warning should not be taken lightly. Novocaine includes an immense amount of body horror and a scene that could trigger emetophobia. Still, it’s a bloody good time.
The film will be available in traditional 2D, as well as 2D with closed captions, D-Box, 4DX, and MX4D. This offers audiences a wide range of viewing experiences suitable to their different needs and preferences.

Digital releases allow viewers to enjoy the film from the comfort of their homes, and they typically offer deleted scenes, commentary, and behind-the-scenes information.
