Pattinson starred in the film adaptation of Don DeLillo 's '' Cosmopolis '' , directed by David Cronenberg . The film competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival . Though the film was well received , Pattinson 's performance was praised . Justin Chang of '' Variety '' wrote , " An eerily precise match of filmmaker and material , '' Cosmopolis '' probes the soullessness of the 1 % with the cinematic equivalent of latex gloves . ... Pattinson 's excellent performance reps an indispensable asset . " Robbie Collin of '' The Telegraph '' stated that it is a sensational performance from Robert Pattinson , " yes , that Robert Pattinson – as Packer . Pattinson plays him like a human caldera ; stony on the surface , with volcanic chambers of nervous energy and self-loathing churning deep below . " And Owen Gleiberman of '' Entertainment Weekly '' stated , " Pattinson , pale and predatory even without his pasty-white vampire makeup , delivers his frigid pensées with rhythmic confidence . " Pattinson appeared one last time as Edward Cullen in the final installment of the Twilight saga , '' The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn – Part 2 '' which was released on 16 November 2012 , and has grossed over $ 829 million worldwide , becoming the highest-grossing film of the '' Twilight '' series . At Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds a 48 % approval rating , based on 174 reviews with the consensus stating : " It is the most enjoyable chapter in '' The Twilight Saga '' , but that 's not enough to make '' Breaking Dawn Part 2 '' worth watching for filmgoers who do n't already count themselves among the franchise converts . " In late 2013 , he appeared in a black and white short film with model Camille Rowe , as the new face of '' Dior Homme Fragrances ''
