Anyone seen this movie? Came out in 2009.it's an indie but it's fucking awesome.

Aided by Are, a boy slave, One Eye slays his captor and together he and Are escape, beginning a journey into the heart of darkness. On their flight, One Eye and Are board a Viking vessel, but the ship is soon engulfed by an endless fog that clears only as the crew sights an unknown land. As the new world reveals its secrets and the Vikings confront their terrible and bloody fate, One Eye discovers his true self.

I have a late review due on it for Film Class. I'll watch it this weekend and get back to ya.
If they cut out like a good 40 minutes of the meaningless slient shit it would be sweet. The violence made me cringe.
I think Virgo Mortensen was the main character.... i forget, but the end scene is the dude (pale as fuck) and just floating/meditating
