The presence of Tom Hanks in the lead role of an Eastern European immigrant stranded in a New York city airport is a mixed bag, too, good because of the forceful conviction he brings to the role but bad in that it brings to mind past Hanks ventures in a similar *vein*.

What does that vein mean beside blood vessel?

Thanks

In a similar vein means in a similar style, or in a similar way.
