I said in "real time." Quite different from your reading. We'll just disagree about

what constitutes "real," regarding the larger issue. Bourne? Realistic to you? All the rapid cutting, speeding up and slowing down?
James Bond? No. Same problem.
Again, Gina's fights weren't artificially speeded up and down w/a 1000 cuts.
This was old-timey, low-tech. Editing was great, it looked brutal. Fights went on w/out the MTV-millisecond edit. It felt brutal. What other star has chops like her (female)? None. I can't think of a major Hollywood male, either, so feel free to mention one who's gotten into a professional fight.
You miss the point by mentioning doubles/stunts. She didn't need one--- no turning aside, no shots from the rear of the action. She was the "actor."
As far as her acting chops, one doesn't see these films for that.... Let's face it, Jason ain't Olivier, either.
I sense we'll not agree since we obviously disagree about what constitutes quality editing, fight choreography.
