It should be noted that code reviews, though useful for catching defects, are incredibly expensive.
I think there are cheaper ways -- along the lines of automated testing and design reviews in lieu of code reviews -- to reduce risk and defects, and obtain high quality software, than to spend such massive time/$ on code reviews.
