Leave your thoughts about The Mack.
| The A.V. ClubAlex McLevyFrom its inception, The Mack had more on its mind than delivering a blaxploitation film, a label director Michael Campus always resisted. He shouldn’t have. His film is one of the finest examples of the genre, a smartly executed and deeply ambitious story of crime, corruption, and prostitution, shot on location in Oakland, California. |
| Village VoiceMichael KerbelThe Mack certainly wasn't the first film to invite audiences to identify with a gleefully transgressive antihero, but its combustible take on sex, class, capitalism, and race made it an important touchstone not only for black film, but also for hip-hop culture. |
| The Observer (UK)Jim McclellanThe Mack is lacking in narrative drive and logic, but offers an entertainingly exploitative portrait of a self-made gangster. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA violent and trashy blaxploitation flick. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyEven as action melodrama of a Shaft sort, the film is inept, so confused that occasionally it seems surreal. |
| User ReviewScott CLoves this movie and it was filmed in my hometown OAKLAND, C.A. |
| User ReviewRashad RI love this movie! I bought it the first chance I got! I promise you if you are a rap fan some of your favorite rappers have stole from Pretty Tony and of course Goldie The Mack. |
| User ReviewErnest JSome of today's rappers and artists got their quotes and video scenes from this classic, and these younger kids swear that the rappers are original!!! "Now muthaf**ker can you buy that!" |
| User ReviewDomingo PThis movie is real! Fellas if you got your heart broke and can't seem to come back in the game; get your beers n L's n observe this one! |
| User ReviewJames Praw, documentary style mixed with improvised dialogue, real-life players and true to life situations: there would be no quentin tarantino without gems like this. And who else but Max Julien can call you a "vicious ass piece of jelly" and not come off sounding silly? |
