Drillbit Taylor
Dealing with a sociopathic school bully, three high school freshmen hire a low-budget bodyguard to protect them, not realizing he is just a homeless beggar and petty thief looking for some easy cash.

The film's biggest swing comes from Drillbit's low point confession scene jumping to the satisfying final fight sequence where he redeems himself.
Drillbit Taylor follows a fairly predictable arc that starts promisingly with Owen Wilson's charm carrying the early scenes, dips significantly in the middle as plot contrivances pile up, then recovers for a crowd-pleasing finale. While reviewers consistently praised Wilson's performance and the chemistry between characters, many found the premise implausible and the middle act dragged down by unrealistic plot developments.
