This leads Nathan to hunt down the robbers to try and save his very new girlfriend.

It all changes withNovocaine’s Sherry twist.

The big reveal inNovocaineis that Sherry was not a normal hostage.

In fact, Sherry is the sister of one of the leader of the bank robbers, Simon.

Revealing that Midthunder’s character was in on the heist is actually a pretty clever twist.

The only issue with it comes in the execution.

Simon then begins apologizing to Sherry for hitting her and confirms her connections.

My issue withNovocaineis that the movie has to do the big twist reveal a second time.

Nathan is understandably shocked to find out the truth and his reaction makes that clear.

However,audiences are already privileged to this knowledge about Sherry, so the moment doesn’t land.

That doesn’t sit well with me.

That’s all taken away by revealing the Sherry twist earlier.

I know that she’s safe with her brother.

The only real question is whether she’ll stay with him or attempt to find Nathan.
