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. Directors Robert Olsen and Dan Berk take a sadistic glee in dreaming up extravagant horrors to inflict on their irrepressib...

He’s already started mourning their relationship: Prince William can’t forgive brother Harry

At the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Prince William showed their strained relationship to the world. Some sources claim that the sons of Princess Diana mutually do not want to communicate with each other. Still, in fact, only one person in the royal family is against their reconciliation. A close friend of the future King of Great Britain told the Daily Mail that William is willing but unable to forgive Harry because of the pain he has brought to Prince Charles and Elizabeth II. "The discord with his brother hit William so hard that he already began to mourn their relationship. So he either mourns that he lost his brother, then he is furious at what Harry did," said the insider. "People don't understand that William, to some extent, became Harry's parent. He was the eldest, always trying to save him from the abyss. He genuinely loves Harry and feels like he's lost the only person who understood their strange life in the palace. But he believes that there are things that simply cannot be done. And Harry 100% crossed that line," he added. Asked if William plans to reconnect with Harry, the anonymous person said: "It's hard to answer. The truth is, they need to find common ground again. But for this, both must admit their guilt and it is pretty evident that one of them categorically refuses to do this. Some members of William's circle say he is "protecting" his younger brother and "will always keep the door open for him." One said: 'Harry has always had concerns about life within the royal family and the pressure that was put on him and William to live and work together because some kind of dynamic couple had their relationship. But there was a lot of stress. They had no place to breathe. But Meghan complicated it.
