Max Payne - Max Payne 2 Resolution / Perspective issue on a wide screen monitor
There's not a shred of evidence on Widescreen Gaming Forum (the definitive source for widescreen game support and fixes) that you can get an acceptable display in widescreen resolutions. The game simply stretches the image to fill your monitor, just as you described.
I would recommend sticking with your second idea of running the game pillarboxed at a 4:3 display ratio.
Install ThirteenAG's widescreen fix to fix stretching in widescreen resolutions.
