Judicial review is the power of the judiciary branch to invalidate laws made by the legislative and/or executive branch. It's generally explicitly granted by a provision in the country's constitution. It's possible to write a constitution which does not grant the judiciary branch this power, but doing so eliminates part of the "checks and balances" that are common in constitutional governments. If you mean discretionary review (review of the results of a case in a lower court), at least in the US the Supreme Court is not required to hear all appeals; those wishing to appeal to the Court submit a petition, and a certain number of Justices (at least four) must agree that the case merits a hearing. Only about 1% of the petitions are actually granted certiorari.
