Putting aside the general discussion on the value of code reviews,
sometimes a code review is a requirement that is a part of the job
description (defense, aviation, space, healthcare, gambling etc).
Among our customers a requirement not to go home until the build is
seen clean is not uncommon.
In such conditions an efficient tool is important, both to enable the
process and to encourage conformance among its users.

As the original poster mentioned, for them, the review could be a
matter of life or death. So the above may well be an option (if not
the only option).
