No it couldn't. There is no car chase, no explosions and only a couple of violent deaths.

Plus it has all this plot stuff that you have to 'like' concentrate on ...

Although it did invent the concept of anti-product placements. People would pay not to be placed in the remake!

I'm sure if you went back to read the movie reviews from the year Blade Runner came out, you'd find them full of similar sentiments. "Blah blah, they don't make sophisticated movies any more, people only care about spectacle and car chases and explosions." No doubt people will be making similar complaints in another 30 years while completely ignoring the sophisticated movies being produced in their own time ("Man, nobody makes movies like Primer or District 9 any more, do they?)

(Yes, I know District 9 has explosions.)
