That's a [matter] of personal taste.
For me, it works particularly well in the gritty westerns I've seen it used in, the Clint Eastwood westerns in particular, and as I sat and thought on it, the 'secret identity' hero media as well, Bruce Wayne having to create cover stories for Batman's broken limbs, Don Diego Vega struggling to not show his twisted ankle that Zorro was seen receiving, etc.
