Typical Jarmush. Is it slow paced? Check. Is it dialogue heavy? Check. Is it absurd at times? Check.
To the people that complain it's not action packed enough I would reply it's as action packed as Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.
Also I think because this movie has zombies in it people give it lots of low reviews, because it's a case of missed expectations.
There's a simple filter you can use to decide whether to watch it. If you enjoyed any of the previous Jarmush movies you won't be heavily disappointed. While not an instant classic it's true to his style. If not, maybe start with one of his earlier movies (Broken Flowers, Night on Earth, Ghost Dog, Dead Man) to get a taste of Jarmush first.
