“Novocaine,” a Paramount Pictures release in theaters Friday, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for “strong, bloody violence, language throughout, grisly images). Running time: 110 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.The latest IP to be mined into a Hollywood blockbuster is appropriately a video game that celebrates digging:
