Sure, it can replicate the action on screen, but the problem is that the show is quite inconsistent and/or disregards physics a lot. Of course, if you went for a grittier feel, GURPS might suit you better.
I admit, I did go for a grittier, darker feel of game, still set in Remnant. The biggest thing I think helped make it work, was I'd let players roll for pretty much anything, I'd just assess a penalty. You couldn't take the time to look up all the rules, it'd just get too cumbersome, so you had to just work on instinct.
