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.

Home Alone, Hospital Style
Bottom of the barrel thriller
Another cheap and awful thriller featuring Bruce Willis, who appears to have made nothing else but this kind of thing for the last five years. The main character is an annoying blonde-haired woman who witnesses a crime and thereafter finds herself pursued by a couple of B-movie hitmen. Bruce Willis turns up with an old man voice - not sure if he's putting it on or not - and is doubled as much as Seagal in his latter movies. Everything screams bottom of the barrel.
death by a thousand flaws
Madison Taylor (Nicky Whelan) is a waitress in Puerto Rico. She takes care of her younger sister by herself. She gets shot by two killers. She is brought to the hospital and police Det. Wakes (Bruce Willis) puts her in isolation for her protection. The killers arrive to retrieve the bullet which could be tracked back to them.
The premise is simple enough. The acting is nothing to write home about. Willis barely cares nowadays. This movie never had a hope with so many little flaws. It starts with the bullet in her leg. That's not the only bullet out there and the bad guys don't spend enough time at the scene to be sure that all their bullets shattered. Quite frankly, it's a silly flaw that could be solved by announcing that they have to kill a witness. Locking her in isolation leaves the issue of the medicine. She would need doctors and nurses but nobody is allowed to see her. There is no monitoring of her. There's nobody on the floor other than one policeman. She pulls the fire alarm but it's a weird fire alarm which doesn't alert anybody outside the floor. What kind of scrub area would be bulletproof? They don't need to do that. Even if they shot out the window, they can't reach the inside handle. She can still shock them. The fact is that these flaws keep happening and they could all be solved. I don't know why the elevator only goes down one level. I don't know why that janitor screams like a little girl who has seen a ghost. I don't know why Madison doesn't talk to that nurse in the morgue. I don't know why security isn't crawling all over the hospital. The bad guy who dropped the chip has no way of knowing that Madison has it. A lot of this movie doesn't make sense if one digs too deeply. It makes no sense that Madison wouldn't shot once to make sure the bad guy is dead. The final confrontation looks stupid with the bad guy taunting Madison. The list goes on and all the little flaws add up.
