Painful As Hell😣

 


Jack Quaid seems to be having a very good year as I just watched him be a total douche in Companion, and now he's the hero for this. Novocaine centers on Nathan Caine, a relatively pathetic bank executive who lives a sheltered life due to his inability to feel pain. That all changes when he meets Sherry, who gives him a little taste of life before being held hostage during a bank robbery. So Mr. Novocaine decides to take it upon himself to save his girlfriend, and it is a very painful experience.

I'll tell you what, Mr. Quaid may not have felt a thing throughout this movie, but I sure as Hell did. The injuries they put this man through were absolutely ridiculous. It got to the point where it physically hurt just watching this. Basically, I was hurting for him since he can't feel anything (physically, not emotionally). I wish I could go into the details, but technically speaking that's spoiling the movie. With that being said, that doesn't mean the movie was bad, it's actually very good. The film's painful nature is what makes it stand out and resulted in some incredible action sequences. Yes they are very unsettling to watch, but for that same reason you can't really look away either.

Ironically after despising him in Companion, I wanted to give Quaid a hug in this. Not just because of his EXTREMELY bad injuries, but because his character was genuinely likable. Nathan was a total sweetheart, and too innocent to be involved in this situation in the first place. But his girl was in trouble, and was willing to go through Hell and high water for her. It's easy to root for him and that's pretty much owed to Quaid's versatility. The love story between Nathan and Sherry was really sweet (and slightly heartbreaking) and there was also a relatively sweet development between Quaid and Jacob Batalon's character.

This movie has nepotism written all over it as in addition to Dennis and Meg's offspring, Jack Nicholson's son Ray is also starring as the bad guy. 1; he is the spitting image of his father. 2; he was a JERK in this. In other words, he also did a good job. I wouldn't have wanted someone to run him over with a car if he didn't. 

By The Way: There's a twist involving Sherry. You have been warned

Novocaine was a fun and agonizing ride. I highly recommend it. Thanks For Reading

Introduction

Bio My name is Naomi Marie Elidios Chadwick. I was born in San Diego, California, but I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I pretty much have a traditional family, which involves happily married parents, 1 younger sister, and an older brother. I was raised Christian, and I continue to practice Christianity to this day. This is not a spiritual blog but some of the content that I post is influenced by my faith. Every now and then I will post Christian content as well, just not always (except with Billboard ). The picture you see up above is me at the airport with my father after I graduated from AmeriCorps NCCC after 10 months of community service. In response I received a congressional award for community service. I've always been really proud of that. I was diagnosed with Asperger's (a form of Autism) around the age of 6, but I was not informed of my diagnosis until I was 12. I'm very into movies and television (animation especially), and pop culture as a whole, and I...

My Top 10 Best Movies Of 2024 (Part 2)

  So, now it’s time for the best list. This is obviously a list of what is in my opinion, the best movies of 2024. Before anything else, just a quick reminder that I have chosen not to review or rank the films  Mary  &  Dune: Part Two   due to my conflicting feelings on them. So you won’t see either of those 2 on this list. If you would like an explanation for 1 or both movies, there are 2 links down below. If there’s an acclaimed movie you were expecting to see on this list that you didn’t see, check out my “Movies You Won’t See” post through the link down below.  #10:  The Bikeriders God-honest truth, the main reason I saw this movie is because of my soft spot for Austin Butler. Though definitely not the strongest movie, this was really good. Its strong points were the performances and the twists. While Austin wasn’t THE standout, he did do a really good job and truly embraced his inner James Dean. The standout however was indeed Tom Ha...
