It depends though. I see your point, but I have see two good roleplayers write an excellent gunfight ala gun kata.

I think Gun-Kata is strangely the middle-ground between the more pitched duelling atmosphere and gunfighting, you tend to be up close and personal at some point, and it feels like a real contest to score that all important kill shot. 

I actually really love Equilibrium, though less so for the martial arts and more for some of the story-line concepts.
