Then for no reason at all, his character does a complete 180. He turns back to take revenge and gets killed. Bah! I can't watch the ending ever again. It ruins the movie.

He doesn't have everything. He got screwed over by a guy who's about to get away with it. So, he desperately wants to extract his revenge upon him. I didn't find this to be terribly out of character.
Also, I think he was talking about walking away from everything you've got, at a moments notice. He
did have his revenge, the girl, and the money and he
did walk away from it all when he saw the heat, literally, around the corner...
