For Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, the opening love story between Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder was non-negotiable: “you’ve got to trust the audience here. This isn't a streaming movie.”

John Wick era of action movies is the fact that many actors who you would not consider to be action stars are getting the chance to be ass-kicking heroes. It is a lot of fun to see an actor like Jack Quaid get the opportunity to lead an action comedy like Novocaine.

Novocaine directors Dan Berk & Robert Olsen come from a horror background, and their latest movie proves how well those skills transfer to action.
