"Mountainhead" is the latest from "Succession" writer-director Jesse Armstrong - no surprise, it's available on HBO's streaming service, Max - and it's something more and rather less: a feature-length film that places four obscenely rich Silicon Valley overlords in a snowbound mansion as the world burns down around them and they plot to leverage the situation to their profits and power.
