| Originally released in 1973, The Mack stars Max Julien (How To Be A Player) as Goldie, a sharp, smooth-talking hustler who’s back on the streets after five years in prison. His dream is to rule the streets with a stable of topnotch hookers and a fancy white Cadillac. Goldie and his sidekicks have the brains, the muscle and the cool to take on the takers and push out the pushers. He winds up king of the pimping game, but trouble comes in the form of two corrupt white cops and a crime boss, who is threatened by Goldie’s new status as The Mack. Packed with raw power, The Mack takes an uncompromising look at big city street life and survival. | ||||||||||||||||||
