6. Robert Pattinson - Tenet

While general audiences may be surprised to see Robert Pattinson delivering such outstanding performances in big blockbuster movies, fans of independent cinema know that this is nothing new for him.

He’s steadily been building a reputation for taking on challenging and insane roles that other actors might shy away from. The Lighthouse, High Life, and Good Time are just a few of the true gems that make his filmography shine.

If anything, starring in a mind-bending, time-travelling thriller from daring director Christopher Nolan probably feels like a well-earned break for Pattinson. His character is there to ground the movie, to act as a comforting guide for the audience as well as John David Washington’s Protagonist.

Pattinson expertly puts across the impression of a man in control, while also holding something back and keeping us guessing as to the true nature of who his character really is.

The final twist of his identity only works so well because of how authentically he’s been portrayed and guarantees that Tenet is a film that needs to be watched more than once to be fully appreciated.
