I don't understand a plot in "Murder with a Knife"

I watched Tom Cruise's "Murder with a Knife" again today, and I didn't understand one of the plots. Now that I think about it, I searched the Internet for a long time to no avail. It was at the beginning, in a lobby that forgot whether it was an airport or a station, the killer played by Cruise was carrying a suitcase in the crowd, and an anonymous played by Jason Stan was carrying the same handbag in the hand of Cruise. The box came over, the two collided, the suitcase fell, the two greeted each other, picked up the suitcase and left.
At the time, I thought they took each other's suitcases by mistake, because they were exactly the same, but the plot didn't develop like that, because the information in Cruise's box was still there, so I didn't know the plot of Senstein coming out and bumping into it. What exactly did it do.

    After watching a movie that shocked a lot. Brother Tom is impeccable. The whole film makes me very calm and excited at the same time. I want to tell myself that I understand, but there are always some words stuck in my mind. As a commercial film, the lines and performance techniques are already excellent. The wolf, the corpses, the background music, and the line, "I am killing, but you are killing yourself."

    Slightly disappointed to be honest. If it is an ordinary work, it is acceptable to shoot in this way, but with the escort of two masters, Tom Cruise and Jimmy Fox, it still feels somewhat reluctant to come out such a result. The story arrangement is still new, and the combination of the killer and the taxi driver is also quite different, but the key is that the plot of the previous hour seems to be relatively procrastinated. I think the two-hour movie can be reduced to at least one and a half hours.

Collateral quotes

  • Felix: Now you're here. Why?

    Max: I lost my stuff. The list.

    Felix: I want you to listen to me real well. Special groups put together the list of dedos.

    Max: Dedos?

    Felix: Fingers, informants. Signal interceptions with voice-recognition software, surveillance. A very expensive counter-intelligence worked up that list. An important list, wouldn't you say? And you lost it?

    Max: Yeah, I'm sorry. Sorry.

    Felix: Sorry? 'Sorry' does not put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

  • Max: The fat man, the penthouse guy, the jazz man. That leaves two.

    Felix: Can you finish?

    Max: In six years, when have I not?
