Trauma Center (2019)
6/10
Home Alone, Hospital Style
1 November 2020
This isn't a comedy, but the premise is the same as Home Alone, in that someone is completely isolated as danger lurks.

In this case, a young woman (Nicky Whelan) witnesses a murder and as she tries to get away, is shot in the leg. She winds up in the hospital, where, under the supervision of a police officer (Bruce Willis) she is isolated in an empty unit for her own safety. Unfortunately, the two guys after her are police officers and don't have much problem getting into the unit and killing her guard. Nicky claims she didn't see anything, but they don't care - they want the bullet that's in her leg.

Very tense with a terrific performance by Nicky Whelan.

To tell you the truth, the movie seemed a little cheap - the sound had an echo. Bruce Willis wasn't the usual Bruce Willis - he was sluggish and spoke slowly. The police officers were appropriately menacing.

Standard entertainment with some clever touches and gory scenes.
