Patton's first acting role was alongside Will Smith and Eva Mendes in 2005's Hitch. She followed that with a small part in the drama London, and appeared alongside OutKast members Andre Benjamin and Big Boi in Idlewild.

Patton was also the leading lady in the 2006 film Déjà Vu, a thriller starring Denzel Washington and Val Kilmer, and played television reporter Kate Madison in 2008's Swing Vote. She appears in the film Mirrors, alongside Kiefer Sutherland in 2008.

Patton plays the teacher of the main character in Precious, a film based on a novel by Sapphire.4 She received good reviews for her performance as a compassionate teacher without being "treacly."5
