Paid basically about $25 for these 3 discs which is a bargain nowadays. The "Live Free or Die Hard" disc is the best looking of the three whereas "The Siege" which is the best of the three, is rather soft looking at times but adequate. "Ronin"is probably noted as the last big hit for the late director John Frankenheimer before he returned to TV. It also boasts among it's writers, David Mamet, who is known in the credits as "Richard Weisz" since he contributed some dialogue to the film. "The Siege", a vastly under-rated thriller, was released 3 yrs before the fateful 9/11 tragedy and probably would do well now rather than in 1998 when it was released--Washington and Benning are excellent in this as well as Willis in a supporting role--he being a Republican, really savored in the dialogue knocking then-President Bill Clinton. All in all, a good package with Willis also in the 4th "Die Hard" film almost equal to the first, perfectly matched with Justin Long as the computer nerd.

I love all 3 movies. Ronin is not as good for a blu-ray imagely speaking. I end up selling Die hrad and bought the box set of all 4 Die Hard movies.

All three movies work well together, if you like one more than likely you will like them all. All are fast paced action films, better deal than buying individually (especially at $22!)

Well I bought this and when I got it I was a bit peeved to find a sticker on top of the bar code, which is supposedly so that it can't be resold. When i try to remove them it wouldn't go easily and left sticky residue. Kinda annoying...

The movie themselves, well...

Live free... is an awesome movie.
Ronin is... kinda boring (I thought personally)
The Siege is... an excellent movie and even though not as widely known, an excellent film

A good value at $22. NOT $44.
