Most fans think too much time is wasted on reviews already.
And since the review would need to be conclusive, and penalties are often pretty much judgement calls to begin with, few would be overturned, just those where , for example, a tripping call was seen to be a player tripping over his own stick, for example.
I can assume there is no penalty review because most teams don't want it.
