“Hustle”
B-
An NBA scout is promoted to assistant coach and then demoted before he has to go back into the field to find the key to the team’s next championship. The off-court storylines don’t have as much intrigue as the basketball scenes, and there’s a standard rise-and-fall formula to the star player’s story. Starring Adam Sandler, Juancho Hernangomez and Queen Latifah. Directed by Jeremiah Zagar. Rated R for language. At Silverspot Cinema at The Battery. 1 hour, 58 minutes.
“Jurassic World Dominion”
C+
In the latest Jurassic adventure, dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world. There are some pleasures to be found in the references to the greatest hits of the major action-adventure and monster movies of the past 40 years, but those films were groundbreaking and inventive while this sequel merely rides their coattails or steals their valor, offering a rewarmed version of “Jurassic Park” jazzed up with “Godzilla” and “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Laura Dern. Directed by Colin Trevorrow. (Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service) Rated PG-13 for language, intense sequences of action and some violence. At metro theaters. 2 hours, 26 minutes. PARENTS GUIDE: This is a fun summer blockbuster that will appeal to the whole family, but it’s best for older kids who can handle the peril and violence of a true monster movie.

Review not available in time for publication.

At Plaza Theatre. 1 hour, 45 minutes.
