Like I said, maybe when it hits video. DeNiro's movies are always worth watching, but not always worth $10 to see on a big screen.

It looks interesting, but I'll wait for reviews. The biggest thing about Dexter and why it works so well is because it has no moral centre or compass. Dexter performs these acts, and the only measure of what to think is how everyone around him acts. But the narrative in the story never decides whether Dexter is doing good or just being a monster. That's why Dexter works so well -- even straying so far from the initial book subject matter. It can only barely even be consider derivative. (in the first book Dexter kills Laguertia, and in the second Doakes is mutilated by a rival serial killer)

If this movie takes a similar approach and leaves everything up to the audience then it could be great. If it puts a Hollywood sap story on it then it could be terrible.
