16 Blocks (2006)

An alcoholic cop gets a last-minute assignment of escorting a prisoner to court where he is supposed to testify against a cop.

People are saying this has a very similar premise to that in The Gauntlet, a film I remember little of. The screenplay of 16 Blocks, although founded on a completely implausible set-up, has some reasonably intelligent set-pieces built around the schemes that the old cop engenders in order to accomplish his mission.
