Novocaine review – Jack Quaid is put through the grinder in ultraviolent action comedy

A man’s inability to feel pain comes in handy in this extravagantly gory bank heist caper Risk-averse San Diego assistant bank manager Nathan Caine (Jack Quaid) lives a cautious, cotton wool-wrapped life. It’s not that he’s afraid of getting hurt. Quite the opposite, since a rare genetic abnormality means he’s unable to feel pain. Rather, Nathan is concerned that because of his sensory quirk he risks inadvertently injuring himself. When the girl of his dreams, sparky fellow bank employee Sherry (Amber Midthunder), is abducted during a heist, and Nathan embarks on an off-the-cuff rescue mission, his unusual condition suddenly comes in handy. While Nathan may feel no pain, the audience certainly does: this is an amped-up, cartoonish blitzkrieg of ultraviolence and – fair warning – a bit of an endurance test if deep-fried fingers and snapped bones give you the ick.

Amber Heard doubts that other women Johnny Depp will talk about his violence

Amber Heard nevertheless decided on the first candid interview after the scandalous and lost libel case. The ex-wife of Johnny Depp talked with Savannah Guthrie, giving answers to the most controversial questions.

Winona Ryder, who dated Johnny from 1989 to 1993, said she was shocked and embarrassed by Heard's accusations against the actor, saying her experience was completely different. Kate Moss, who was in a relationship with the star from 1994 to 1998 and testified in court, denied rumors that Johnny ever pushed her down the stairs. Even ex-wife Vanessa Paradis, who was with Depp for 14 years and broke up due to the appearance of Heard in his life, said that she always knew the actor as "a kind, considerate and generous person. Only one girl named Ellen Barkin, who dated Depp in 1994, admitted to how Johnny was "jealous" and "controlled her in everything. Amber hoped to the last that the jury would be able to see a folder of notes containing medical documents from the doctor to whom she had told about the abuse. However, television journalist Savannah was not afraid to reveal a potential conflict of interest in an interview after it became known that her current husband, Michael Feldman, was a consultant to Depp's legal team. Ethics experts said that Guthrie should not have interviewed Heard due to a conflict of interest.
