About as deep as a glass of water...

...and incredibly heavy-handed.
In the first few minutes, Mel Gibson INSISTS that he is NOT a preacher any more. From that point on, it's just the watching and waiting for the big moment when he regains his faith. And when it does eventually happen (come on, it's not like we believe Mel WON'T regain his faith), it's in a scene that's utter gibberish.
Don't get me wrong. There are some GREAT scenes in this movie--about five in all. The rest is inconsistent (characters are capable of building spaceships to travel across the universe, they're strong enough to jump straight up onto the roof of a house, but can't get out of a locked pantry?) and s-l-o-w, presumably to let the suspense build. Someone should've spent a little more time on the script and a little less in a too-large supporting actor role.
