Holy Spider.
Movie based on the true story of an Iranian serial killer who tried to rid Iran of corrupt woman--i.e., drug using prostitutes. He would pick woman up on his motorcycle, take them back to his home, then strangle them. He felt he was doing God's work.
That he was doing God's work was his defense at trial. He had a lot of supporters that felt the same, and wanted him released. His trial actually became political.
Although the movie had subtitles, it was really good. It's a typical serial killer movie, but the fact it happened in Iran made it really interesting to me. I'd grade it a B- .
