Critics consensus

“The quirky Novocaine flirts with both dark comedy and noir suspense, but the result is a jarring mix of tones which never quite mesh.”

This dark, stylish tale isn't for kids.

This Hitchcockian yarn compensates for its leading man's rather anonymous performance with some well-placed shocks, a morbid sense of humour, and a climax that will literally put your teeth on edge.

The casting is peculiar, the tone is off, the plot is uninteresting and the ending is sorry.

It is entertaining enough to arouse imagination of post-Tarantino audience.
