I'm not someone who needs to understand exactly what's happening (and where and when) from the instant a film starts. I'm actually able to put pieces together as the film progresses.
It took all of ten minutes to realize one couldn't be locked into some idea of fixed time in that movie.
And it didn't take too too long to realize the opening scene was definitely before the robbery and no, it wasn't a flaw, it was an insight - for the bright people watching - into PSH's idealized goals/dreams/motivation for what follows (as in, "if only I could hold onto this, I'd be okay"... and that's what he was trying to get back to. It was also an insight into his ugliness).
Again, pretty simple stuff when all is said and done."You can safely assume you have created God in your own image when he hates all the same people you do."
