It isn't bad, just cheap. It gives the film visual pizzaz, but doesn't really add much else. I'd be impressed if this was the only film he did it in, as it would be a representation of the cyclical nature of drug use, but he literally does it in every film he's made. It's like his signature move. Like the twist ending of M. Night Shyamalan. Pretty cool until it becomes expected.

I call it gimmicky because they are visual gimmicks. The literary equivalent is all the repeating phrases of Fight Club. It's something familiar to pull you along but isn't really substantially adding anything.
