Drillbit Taylor

Drillbit Taylor (2008) is a Paramount Pictures comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Owen Wilson plays the title character — a man who claims to be a battle-hardened soldier available for private security work. He is actually homeless, broke, and planning to rob his clients the moment an opportunity presents itself.

His clients are three high school freshmen: Wade, Ryan, and Emmit, who have spent their first week getting brutalized by a genuinely unhinged bully named Filkins. Real protection costs money they don't have, so Drillbit it is. His training methods are creative in the wrong ways. Leslie Mann plays a teacher who sees something in Drillbit that he hasn't noticed himself. Josh Peck and Danny McBride round out the supporting cast.

Directed by Steven Brill from a story concept by John Hughes, the film is a Apatow Productions production that leans into the gap between what these kids paid for and what they actually need. Watch Drillbit Taylor (2008) online on iFILM.
