In a film with far too many unexplained points that needed explanation, Helgeland could have easily written either her or Mark Addy out. Seems to me thost two parts were originally the same character and he split it a few drafts in to create a role.

"Didn't warrant her tagging along for no apparent reason, with a backstory that's barely explored. We know he loves her, yeah. But there's no earthly reason why she would be going to Europe with him. She needs to hide? She can do that at home. Is it only Heath that can protect her? Why? And how does an attempted murderer
get out of the country so easily anyway?"
When I saw the plane leaving I also wondered how she got out of the country so easily. But I dismissed it as a small plot hole. I don't think she tagged along for no apparent reason.

I liked the idea of the spiritual mystery movie, unfortunately I think Brian Helgeland should have developed more tension....almost all the good of this movie takes place in the second half. It's like the first half is characterization that doesn't really characterize that well.
The movie really starts to shine when the Sin Eater enters the movie.
It's like a quiet version of the Devil's Advocate.
