Novocaine 2025
Novocaine is the first action movie of the year (there haven't been many TBH) that isn't afraid to be just an action movie (that has been released theatrically).

Because of the timing of release September 5 has become a divisive movie. It's easy to make the movie political because it's a 1972 Munich Massacre movie. However the movie is not really trying to be political. This will not go into the history or analysis of Israel and Palestine and will solely be about the movie itself. The movie itself doesn't take sides, and the only position it takes is the role of media.
September 5 is an insanely…
