I loved the movie and can understand why some did not...
it's worth mentioning that Moss isn't really the hero of the story...just another victim of Chiguhr....the movie and story is all about Tommy Lee Jones' character and who he's mulling retirement because he's getting too old.
Think about his speech at the beginning and how it ties in with his speech at the end...and the final words "...and then I woke up". Also pay attention to the talk he has with his uncle in the wheelchair...
I took it as the wife got shot as well, hence him checking his soles
the car wreck was fate...it also became a corrupting point for the young boys on the bikes...think about the theme of how money corrupts...look what it made people do in the movie...those little boys in the end were selfless and perfectly willing to give up a shirt...but once he gave them money...they started bickering about splitting it...
As for why Moss went back to give them thirsty man some water...his conscience got the better of him. he felt it was one thing to take the money, but another let someone die that he could let live...
