There's little to no importance in the current timeline, where the man is hiding out from a gunman. It's a frail excuse to slide back and forth in time to events that are clearly far more important.

It's not that the idea of using a single scene and then reflecting on past times is inherently a bad idea; it's just that the single scene does not matter. Maybe it will matter later.
