Cosmopolis

This amazing thriller, Cosmopolis, provided an early hint of Pattinson's resolve to devote himself to any role - no matter how strange it becomes. Pattinson later worked with David Cronenberg on the film "Maps to the Stars," which was released in 2014, but Cosmopolis was their very first collaboration together.

In the movie, Pattinson's character, the rich Eric Packer, had to get a prostate test while still discussing business and without ever having to step out of his fancy car. Pattinson owns the show for most of the running time, despite the fact that the film is a slow-burning picture that might not suit everyone.

Cosmopolis is based on the novel written by Don DeLillo and takes place over the course of just one day. The main character looks on helplessly as he slowly loses a significant chunk of his wealth and is unable to make his fiancee stay. Robert is so adept at seeming calm on the surface while really being utterly unraveled on the inside - an ability that will serve him well in his career. Though the movie itself is not perfect, we can say that it is still a remarkable turning point for Robert's future profession.
