“Novocaine” is a 2025 action-comedy film directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, featuring Jack Quaid as Nathan Caine, a bank employee with congenital insensitivity to pain, and Amber Midthunder as Sherry Margrave, his colleague and love interest. The plot centers on Nathan’s daring attempt to rescue Sherry after she’s kidnapped during a bank robbery, leveraging his inability to feel pain as an unexpected advantage.
The film debuted in U.S. theaters on March 14, 2025, and is currently available exclusively in cinemas. While it’s not streaming on platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video at this time, it’s anticipated to become available on Paramount+ in the coming months, following its theatrical run.
At the box office, “Novocaine” opened at number one during a particularly slow weekend for theaters, earning approximately $8.7 million. Despite the subdued overall box office performance, the film’s ability to secure the top spot underscores its strong reception among moviegoers.
