Ok, I can usually find things using Google but no luck this time!
This is a film from around mid-90s I think, but could be +/- 10 years.
Male lead, who I think gets a kind of lethal injection which has so long to take effect. Or it may be a disease which is killing him.
But either way - he has a few hours to achieve his objective.
One of the defining things is that as he gets weaker/the film progresses - the colour fades - so towards the end of the film it is more black and white than colour.
Best Answer
This is D.O.A. from 1988 starring Dennis Quaid.
In the film (which starts out as black and white in homage to the original), Quaid has been poisoned and attempts to discover his killer before time runs out. As the film progresses the color is drained from the scenes until the film finishes in the black and white state of the opening.
