Casino Royale is gold standard for what fight scenes should be like in modern action movies

I was discussing in another thread how I don't really like John Wick because it was like watching director play video game with cheat codes, there was never any sense of danger when it became clear how unstoppable John Wick is. That got me thinking what movies got it right and Casino Royale is my choice.

Especially Bathroom Fight and Stairwell fight

They are both just perfect fight scenes in my opinion. Down to earth gritty, dangerous, exhausting, visceral. It actually feels like people are really fighting for their lifes. Bond feels like badass who can kill man with bare hands but there is still this sense that he might not make it in the end, which is unfortunately not that usual in Bond franchise.
