Long swords are one handed swords. It's probably a bastard sword.

A lineup of the cast with their Medievel English style Swords. Cast from left to right: Lt. Maximillian von Steiner (Benno Fürmann), Cpl. Valerie Duval (Devon Aoki),Brother Samuel (Ron Perlman),Severian (Anna Walton),Cpl. Jesus 'El Jesus' de Barrera (Luis Echegaray),and Maj. 'Mitch' Hunter (Thomas Jane).
I´ve seen the film a couple of times, and i´d swear that those are one-handed longswords. The fact is that actors that don´t have sword training usually wields them as if they were 'bastard' swords. Bastard is a term coined in the XIX century to name what is today called a Hand and a half sword, that is, swords with a long enough pommel to be used one or two handed. That type of sword have a blade between 105-115 cm long, and the swords in the film are clearly shorter, about 85-90, a length usual for a one-handed longsword. It looks to defiantly be a one-handed sword. By the design it seems like a late middle ages french style one and a half handed broadsword. I didn't see it quite close enough to see if it was a one handed sword that the actors hold like a one and a half.
