Act of Valor was scripted by Kurt Johnstad ( 300 ) and is reportedly based on several real-life incidents involving Navy SEALs. Those stories were thereafter reconstructed and tied together to form the film's central narrative, which follows the Bandito Platoon as it works in collaboration with the C.I.A. and sets out to stop a global terrorist plot that threatens to result in the coordinated killing of thousands of U.S. civili

CW president Mike Pedowitz has been working to get a military drama on the network for several years now, and the choice to make Valor , a drama about U.S. Army helicopter pilots who find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy following a mission that went completely awry, the network's first foray into the subgenre an interesting one.

It's a solid premise that feels almost like The CW was hoping for a cross between the first season of Homeland and the network's soapy dramas like One Tree Hill , Gossip Girl , and the like.

But the pilot continues to add elements that the story's mostly solid foundation just isn't equipped to handle.
