Horseman falls far short of what it might have been, starting out smart but getting sloppier and more sentimental as it goes along.

The middle is heavy on romance between the two stars -- both megawatt powers in 1979 -- but the central plot, about a stolen horse for God's sake! -- doesn't carry the weight director Sydney Pollack might like us to believe.

The Electric Horseman succeeds as an ode to individualism with a modern cowboy who makes a stand against a corporation and a New York reporter who loves her career above all else.

The Electric Horseman is the kind of movie they used to make.

Beguilingly sharp at first, but the later stages, with Fonda's toughie reporter tagging along for a story but going all mushy inside, wallow in sentimentality about integrity, ecology and all that jazz.

A moderately entertaining film, but no screen magic from Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. The pic is overlong, talky and diffused.

At this point, I think it's reasonably safe to say that The Electric Horseman is the best American romantic comedy of 1979.
