Cool fight, annoying music, goes on too long. Kicking in leather pants. Good thing no one else was in that room. Nice crotch hit. Both are far too pretty for that. Kind of a snooze though. Slo mo here and there. That's all. But why point out that one the assassins was a woman. She's no more over the top ridiculous than any of the men assassins.
It's always nice if the people in action movies are not only actors who pretend that they can fight, but also have fighting (martial arts, MMA, etc.) in their résumé.
Though their acting is at best average, it's allright for the majority of films and television shows.
Nowadays, many actors, without real fighting skills, proclaim that - after a short practice - they do their own fight scenes and stunts. When you know that they are not real fighters, but just pretend, those scenes become quite unconvincing to the general public.
This fight scene was particularly impressive because of the open room and the moderate editing of shots plus no other actors to distract, even a lack of using objects in the fight just hands and feet.

The awesome thing is that they are both real fighters and do their own stunts.
And both are also

So is it just a series of fights? That's all right if they are good.

Well, these are actors and martial artists who are known for action/fight movies.
Scott Addkins, for example, has appeared in movies like "The Bourne Ultimatum (2006)", "The Expendables 2 (2012)", "Doctor Strange (2016)", and in soap dramas like "EastEnders (1985-)" and "Holby City (1999-)".
