Tuesday's child is full of grace

for the Carpe Diem challenge:

Squee: Tell us about a movement that takes your breath away, or even better, share a video of it. A dance performance, nature video, athletic feat... The kind of thing you never tire watching.

I love a good fight scene, and I will happily watch this Magic Murder Man kill Russian mobsters over and over again. it's goddamn art.

Watch on YouTube

this moment where Wick steps into the room and is framed by the LED wall is where we start seeing the action kick into high gear. he's so fluid and efficient, but not so much that it knocks you out of the scene. it's taken me a long time to learn to appreciate Keanu Reeves as an actor, but he's grown into someone remarkable when a physical performance is required. he does 90% of the stunts and he's done the work on the range.

i'm still not a fan of Keanu's acting in a lot of contexts, but that's pure gorgeous ballet

Ahhhh! I actually watches this movie for the first time this year and remember the scene.

I've been enjoying the different responses to the challenge, and enjoyed this one too.

Not dancing no, but so graceful and fluid, despite the murder spree. Impressive acting from Keanu.

That's a lot of work on the range, to get there. Super impressive.
