Novocaine

Movie • 2025 • Action  

Report
Nathan Caine was born with the rare disorder CIPA (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain), which means he does not feel physical pain. He grew up a sheltered child, learning to blend his food so he would not unwittingly chew off his own tongue, and he learned to wear a timer to remind himself when to go to the bathroom. But when his bank is robbed and his new love taken hostage, his affliction becomes his greatest strength as he sets out to rescue her.
This movie contains 53 potentially triggering events.

He's coerced to make amends with a childhood bully and encouraged to do a shot together. The person is doing it as a set-up to get back at the bully, but the bully's victim isn't in on the prank (she swaps the liquor in their shots for ghost pepper hot sauce).
