Synopsis

Novocaine (2001) is an American dark comedy crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Steve Martin plays Frank Sangster, a dentist with a spotless practice, a steady fiancée and a life calibrated to the millimeter. Then a patient named Susan Ivy drops into his chair.

Helena Bonham Carter plays Susan — charming, needy, and very interested in Frank's prescription pad. One unauthorized refill leads to missing drugs, a dead body, and a police investigation pointing straight at Frank. Laura Dern and Elias Koteas round out the cast as the story tightens its grip.

Director David Atkins constructs a deadpan noir where every reasonable decision the hero makes somehow makes things worse. Watch Novocaine (2001) online on iFILM.
