He suspects that a calculating killer is out there, enticing him to play psychological games.

Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
iamthetopp Solid performances by Iain Glen, Nora-Jane and supporting cast carry The Dramatist.Set several months after The Magdalena Martyrs with Jack experiencing sobriety for the first time in years, we get a closer and more personal look into his character as he is commissioned by a local professor to investigate a student's apparent suicide.As the events unfold and suicide turns into a couple of homicides, we see a connection to Jack's past. Layers of Jack's character are further revealed as he deals with a close personal tragedy and confronts consequences of previous inebriate actions.Yet again the world gets a peek into a rich Irish culture and history with the introduction of "Deidre of the Sorrows" by J. M. Synge.
