I lifted the below directly from Wikipedia:
Jarmusch has been characterized as a minimalist filmmaker whose idiosyncratic films are unhurried. His films often eschew traditional narrative structure, lacking clear plot progression and focus more on mood and character development. In an interview early in his career, he stated that his goal was "to approximate real time for the audience."
This pretty much sums up the film. It is an unhurried take on a zombie film, in a small American town.
The characters are uncomplicated by the fact that they are very much one thing, and fall into strict stereotyoes i.e. straightforward, rude, weird, the nerd, the unbothered teens etc.
The cast was also huge, it was a true who's who, and each of them played to their strengths perfectly.
Bill Murray and Adam Driver were a fantastic pairing, as the slack jawed police chief, and main officer, that were undertaking the investigation of the towns unusual disturbances, and quite contentedly bumble through to the films conclusion.
The humour was painfully matter of fact, and delivered flawlessly dead pan. A style of humour I have always appreciated.
This isn't a straight up horror/zombie film, so if you are looking for a more mellow and laid back film then you may be able to appreciate this one, but it is certainly not one for the traditional horror fan.

Mar 26, 2019
Whole thing is handled in broad strokes and there are quite a few divergences from the traditional legend (the Trojan war lasts about a fortnight, not ten years, and you can forget any notion of Brad Pitt's Achilles being into, er, Greek-style romance, if you know what I mean), but overall this is fun, rousing stuff. Looking back on it now the various bits of political subtext not-so-subtly inserted into the film seem amusingly quaint more than anything else. A well-staged, classy blockbuster.
