Drillbit Taylor
ActionAdventureComedyCrime110 min
After a rough start to freshman year, three high school outsiders hire a bodyguard to keep a relentless bully off their backs. Owen Wilson is Drillbit Taylor, a self-styled protector who looks more like a beach drifter than a professional security detail — because he’s really a homeless scammer and petty thief taking the job for quick cash. As the boys, including Nate Hartley and Troy Gentile, lean on his makeshift training and school-day surveillance, the arrangement keeps getting messier, with Drillbit trying to stay one step ahead of both the bully and the adults around campus.
