No, since writing is a very subjective thing, and many rules rarely work in real life. Thats why I always turn off the grammar check in Ms Word, as it blindly tries to apply some "rules" to everything I write. Like this article says:

Sadly, writing tutors tend to ignore this moderation, and simply red-circle everything that looks like a passive, just as Microsoft Word's grammar checker underlines every passive in wavy green to signal that you should try to get rid of it. That overinterpretation is part of the damage that Strunk and White have unintentionally done.

You are better off allowing other human beings, rather than computers, to critique your work. You can post small snippets here on Writers exchange(subject to these rules), while websites like Critters allow you to post longer works for critique.
