I was rooting for Keaton's character the entire time because not only was Modine's character just lashing out from an outsiders perspective he also beat the shit out of Keaton while Keaton was just trying to give Patty flowers. Decent 90s Thriller, but the Main Male protagonist is deeply unlikable.
